Straight No Chaser
Review - Max Cole
This
album is the latest broadside from the F-ire collective,
and Oriole are one of those groups that avoid the obvious
choices of instrumentation, coming instead with the colours
of the bass clarinet and cello in the mix- reminiscent
of a modern day Chico Hamilton. The combination of Seb
Rochford's grasp of African rhythms and Jonny Phillips'
songwriting brings exotic vibes on the tracks of Meme and
Themes Des Tangos Celabres, while the title track, featuring
the sultry tones of singer Julia Biel, is an off kilt lullaby
from the stars, refracted through 'Somewhere over the rainbow'
and 'Come Sunday'. Keeping the f-ire reputation for innovation
and creativity on track.
