The Orielles reveal details of The Goyt Method

11 April 2023, 12:16 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

The Orielles release new single "Tableau 002" and share details of their forthcoming EP which is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed fourth album, Tableau.

The five track EP will feature brand new songs constructed from randomly chosen parts of tracks from Tableau, which was released in October of last year. Speaking of the album's concept, the band say that it was birthed from an "interest in cybernetics, improvisation and experimental electronic music".

"We wanted to zoom out of Tableau and disconnect all the pieces, rearranging them in new ways to create variations of songs, which encapsulate the whole record. We left this part of the process completely down to chance, adopting an online roulette wheel to choose our stems. This way of creating music was familiar to us from spending a lot of time remixing and record collecting, gaining an invested interest in deep listening and avant-garde electronic music."

The Orielles also have released a video to coincide with "Tableau 002" which is inspired by Tetsuo: Iron Man, and directed by Beck Cooley, who the band say they bonded with over their "adoration for janky electronic IDM and experimental sci-fi and body horror film".

"The way in which we remixed tracks from Tableau for this EP was very much inspired by a collaboration with AI and letting online randomisation choose the stems for us to pull into the track. We felt this was pretty apt and decided to pay homage to Tetsuo in a 'man meets machine' collision of metal and computers."

Tracklist:

1. Tableau 001
2. Tableau 002
3. Improvisation 002
4. Tableau 003
5. Tableau 004

The Goyt Method EP is released on 26 May via Heavenly Recordings and is available for pre-order.
