One of the newer additions to the local rock milieu, Orange in Circles deconstruct the modern-wall-of-sound indie rock of bands like Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene into a trim and streamlined package. Leader Burj Herr's songs steer into almost proggy phrasing and voicing, but stay anchored with high-and-tight melodies and a rhythm section whose heart beats with a punk rock ethos.
Below are two versions of the same song. The first being a band-friendly version and the other a home demo from Burj's own hands.
"My Shaker Mover"
"My Shaker Mover (Burj home demo)"
Orange in Circles will kick off the Out the Other/Indie Ghetto 8 off 8th on Monday at Mercy Lounge. Be sure to get there by 9:00 to check them out.
