Roots Of Orchis Discography of CDs

Roots Of Orchis discography The debut record from this Sand Diego quartet is a beautiful instrumental epic that brings to mind Tristeza and Maserati. Later discs saw Roots of Orchis expand in a jazzier and more hip-hop-infused direction, but on their first disc, the approach is much more guitar-oriented and subtle. There are still flourishes of the electronics that appeared on later releases, most notable in the freaky beat manipulation of "Accompanied by Fever." The eight songs that form the record aren't too upbeat, bit they still rely heavily on tight grooves and the interplay of the group's formidable rhythm section. Single guitar lines are difficult to pick out as they swirl across keyboard sounds and slinky basslines, and the result is a series of tracks that never impose themselves on you but manage to work their way into the listener's head over time. The nature of the songs is relaxing yet complex, and while there aren't exactly any standout tracks, the record as a single piece of music works very well. Roots of Orchis only got better from this point on, and even a quick listen shows that the potential was there from the start. As the band got more complex and creative, they strayed from the straightforward approach of The Red House in Winter, but there's no denying that this was the start of something impressive. ~ Peter J. D'Angelo The Roots Of Orchis: Day Lyderson, Justin Pinkerton, Chris Labreche, Jackie Musick, Aaron Morgan. Recording information: Daivd and Julia's House (1999); David And Julia's House (1999).

Roots Of Orchis CD discography Noise For Pretend/Blanket Musi Decemberists/Bobby Birdman Read: is a combined label sampler/tribute album from the Portland-based imprint Hush. These interpretations are tasteful, almost reverent -- even when the arrangements are modified, there's consideration for that particular "Björkness," that sly detachment her work is usually steeped in. So Kaitlyn Ni Donovan hesitates over each line in "Hunter" like she's creeping up on her prey. Ben Gibbard's "Joga" is more conventionally indie, his ...
