Key Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 https://boomkat.com/products/still-strange Pleasantly surprised to see this released on Halloween, DDS release a second volume of archive material from the super-obscure Orior. Despite (understandably) having never heard of them before I found 2016's Strange Beauty to be a really rich and rewarding listen. Orior seem to occupy the space as a missing link between early 80's darkwave post-punk stuff(Cabaret Voltaire/Durutti Column) and the more jazzy early 90's post-rock (Talk Talk/Slint/Tortoise). With plenty of murky nocturnal drones and gently lurching monosynths peeking out from beyond the tape hiss. This one is a bit more heavy on the drones, but otherwise just as strong as the first. The boomkat hype man isn't being disingenuous when he invokes Vangelis and BoC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
