Apr 26, 2012The preponderance of the material here creates its own world, on its own terms, and beckons you to go inside. And you will.
-
Apr 24, 2012Orcas at first seems nondescript (and as such works well as background music, if your foreground is, let's say, a wintry gazebo), but it's an album one 'finds' after repeated close listens.
-
Apr 25, 2012Orcas provides much to engage fans of both Irisarri and Pioulard, as well as lovers of languid, abstracted pop song craft.
-
Apr 24, 2012An enjoyable creation that, despite its clear roots, has its own logic and general aesthetic.
-
May 8, 2012Orcas, stays in the same zone [gauzy ambient folk], but edges closer to the sublime and harrowing atmospheres more associated with Irisarri.
-
Apr 24, 2012Undeniably beautiful. Aloof, abstract and elegant, it melds ambient expanse with pop form to idyllic, if unassuming effect.
-
Apr 24, 2012While Orcas hits on a heavier emotional level than I'd initially expected, that tendency to drift does endure on repeated listens.
