Depuis leur formation dans la ville d’Halifax, dans le West Yorkshire, il y a plus de dix ans, alors qu’elles étaient encore adolescentes, les Orielles sont passées de l’indie lo-fi (Silver Dollar Moment, Heavenly Recordings 2018) à l’avant-pop inspirée de Stereolab et A Certain Ratio (Disco Volador, Heavenly Recordings 2020), allant même jusqu’à réaliser et composer leur propre film expérimental (La Vita Olistica, 2021).
Maintenant, avec le nouvel album ‘Tableau’ (Heavenly Recordings, 2022), The Orielles ont créé leur premier disque véritablement contemporain – un double album expérimental autoproduit en collaboration avec le producteur Joel Anthony Patchett (King Krule, Tim Burgess). Ce faisant, The Orielles ont utilisé des pratiques de jazz holistiques, de l’électronica oblique du 21e siècle, des méthodes expérimentales de boucle de bande des années 1960, des sons vocaux AutoTuned d’un autre monde, le dub downer de Burial, l’accent mis par Sonic Youth sur l’improvisation et le feedback, et les légendaires cartes Oblique Strategy de Brian Eno.

Since forming in the West Yorkshire town of Halifax, over a decade ago whilst still in their early teens, the Orielles have journeyed from lo-fi DIY indie origins (Silver Dollar Moment, Heavenly Recordings 2018) to Stereolab and A Certain Ratio inspired avant-pop (Disco Volador, Heavenly Recordings 2020), even directing and scoring their own experimental film (La Vita Olistica, 2021).
Now, with new album Tableau (Heavenly Recordings, 2022), the Orielles have created their first genuinely contemporary record – an experimental double album self-produced in collaboration with producer Joel Anthony Patchett (King Krule, Tim Burgess). In doing so, the Orielles have utilised holistic jazz practices, oblique 21st century electronica, experimental 1960s tape loop methods, otherworldly AutoTuned vocal sounds, the downer dub of Burial, Sonic Youth’s focus on improvisation and feedback, and Brian Eno’s legendary Oblique Strategy cards.
At the end of 2020, the Orielles – vocalist and bassist Esmé Hand-Halford, drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford and guitarist Henry Carlyle-Wade – regrouped to rehearse in Manchester, the city that the band have made their home across the last five years. When all of the band’s live dates to promote their second album were scrapped due to the pandemic, the group instead spent 2020 creating La Vita Olistica, a high-concept art film directed and written by the Hand-Halford sisters which they toured in cinemas across the following year.
