Ok ladies and jellyspoons we have a vey special event that is happening at the LP Cafe in Watford on the 11th December ORKA will be performing a special instore performance with support from LINO and Prank Monkey DJs. There may even be some other special guests, so watch this space. Entrance will be by wristband only for those who puchase a copy of ORKAs new LP LEIPZIG over the next couple of weeks, so get yourself down to the LP Cafe and buy a copy of Leipzig so you can be part of this very special event: Heres a little bit of information about ORKA ORKA is a Faroese act based in London. When ORKA started they began with building their own instruments out of agricultural tools on a small farm on the Faroe Islands. ORKA has since then played venues and festivals all over the world and done collaborations with a number of prominent acts including LV (Hyperdub, Keysound), Yann Tiersen, and Ólafur Björn Ólafsson (Sigur Rós). Now ORKA is ready with their 4th full-length album LEIPZIG. The bulk of the album was recorded at UT Connewitz; a spectacular and worn down pre-war cinema in the heart of Leipzig, Germany, together with Oktopus (Dälek), Ólavur Jákupsson, and HOGNI. Other recordings were done on tour in Paris, New York, a small church in Sibrandahûs, Netherlands, a boat in Hong Kong and a train terminal in Bombay. The album was then finalised and patched together in ORKAs and co-producers LVs London studios, and it features vocals by Greta Svabo Bech (Deadmau5) and Teitur among others. On LEIPZIG ORKAs trademark custom instruments and dark sound are fused with sedated resounds from UK Bass and LA Beat topped with icy North Atlantic vocals. ORKA call it Club Gaze. If compared to other artists, you could say that the album sounds like J Dillas Donuts if it was produced by Burial, with the Nordic melodic sensibility of Sigur Rós, and performed by Faust.
