West Yorkshire’s experimental art-poppers unveil their most ambitious album to date There’s something quite admirable about the way The Orielles have yet to be fitted into any kind of pigeonhole. Their debut album, Silver Dollar Moment, could be loosely described as indie pop, but the 2020 follow-up Disco Volador dived into all sorts of different territories. During lockdown, the band filled their new-found free time by creating and scoring their own experimental film, La Vita Olistica.
Opinion: Fantastic
When The Orielles embarked on the creation of 'Tableau', they shifted their production technique to one that prioritised extreme creativity. What emerged is their most experimental and exhilarating release to date, existing as the product of pent-up pandemic energy, when their usually tight-knit artistic practice was severed. A reinvention from the lo-fi, DIY indie that defined their early days, 'Tableau' is The Orielles' first truly contemporary record.
