Listen: Orthy – “Night Touch” [Premiere]
Texan electronic outfit Orthy give us a taste of what’s to come on their new EP via the warm, melodic house sentiments of “Night Touch”.
Sounding like the opening to a Wild Beasts song with its sharp wood blocks snaps and rumbling percussion, “Night Call” soon finds itself lost in high energy harmonies, relentless beats and swirling, hallucinogenic layers. The five-piece, headed up by bedroom musician Ian Orth, count The Beach Boys amongst their influences and that love of rich vocal alliances sits tight at the track’s centre.
It’s immersive stuff, so just sit back and let its lush layers wash over you.
E.M.I.L.Y. EP is out 28 January via Dither Down, with an album to follow.
