Orango Finish Recording New Album
Consider this your periodic reminder of the value of signing up for the Stickman Records newsletter. If I hadn’t, I would almost certainly have missed the news that Oslo classic heavy rockers Orango have completed the recording process for their yet-untitled (at least publicly) new album, which one hopes will see release sometime before the end of the year. Given vinyl delays, that might be 2023 in reality, but if your opinion isn’t “I’ll take it whenever it gets here, the sooner the better,” I’ll personally invite you to check out the trio’s 2018 offering, Evergreens (review here), which on its own should explain everything handily.
Until there’s word of a release date, the band has a limited reissue of 2014’s Battles that came out in March that seems to still be somewhat available, however temporarily that may be the case. I don’t know when the thing might happen in the sense of records happening, the full rollout and all that, but this is a good band and if you don’t know them and you’re still reading this sentence, it won’t hurt you to get on board.
From the aforementioned newsletter:
Orango returns from the studio with a new album!
It’s been a few years since the Norwegian classic rockers Orango dropped their last album (Evergreens, 2018), and as you’ve heard before, the pandemic didn’t exactly make it easier on bands. The good news is that the guys are fresh out of Ocean Sounds Studio with a new album! As production times remain sluggish, it’s too early to reveal much other than that you can expect another dose of top-shelf heavy rock full of melody and soul as few other bands can produce.
In the meantime, check out the band’s back catalog at their Bandcamp and grab some records here!
