The Orielles on “Three Halves”

Citing ideas that we took interest in during the early stages of writing the new record, ‘Three Halves’ flips between its absurd contrasts as the name suggests. Built upon a soundscape of droning organs, guitar, and cello it floats between noise and emptiness, precision, and catharsis, welcoming each half leads into the next.

In other news, The Orielles have been announced as main support on the forthcoming English Teacher tour in November. They also play their own headline shows in the new year.

The Manchester trio includes Esmé Dee Hand-Halford (bass & vocals), Sidonie Dee Hand-Halford (drums & vocals) and Henry Carlyle Wade (guitar & vocals).
