Silver Dollar Moment
From the first jangling sunshine chords on opening track ‘Mango’, Silver Dollar Moments announces itself as a proper piece of indie pop goodness. Then, across 45 minutes, it takes all kinds of turns, into ESG-ish yips and funk, dreamy-arch harmonies, disco synth-pows and stoner bongos, unsettling submerged voices - with all that and more it still flows like a fountain of indie pop, fresh and catchy and altogether. The album features the singles ‘I Only Bought It For The Bottle,’ ‘Let Your Dogtooth Grow’ and ‘Blue Suitcase (Disco Wrist).’
Carefree and a lot of fun, the Halifax trio's debut album is an eccentric little treat.
The members of Halifax, U.K. trio the Orielles weren't born when the baggy movement was sweeping the music scene, but that doesn't stop them from sounding like the best baggy band that never was.
Nostalgic but not tired; sugary but not sickly sweet, the debut album from Halifax trio The Orielles is a triumph. The twelve-track album whirls you
'Silver Dollar Moment' is the debut album from Halifax trio The Orielles, an LP that extends beyond its indie-pop template by virtue of its charm.
