THE ORIELLES BLUE SUITCASE (DISCO WRIST)

Rising Halifax 3-piece The Orielles are gearing up to release their debut album Silver Dollar Moment on legendary psych label Heavenly Recordings next month. Their newest single 'Blue Suitcase (Disco Wrist)', follows their brilliant disco-punk-inspired previous tracks ‘I Only Bought it for the Bottle’ and ‘Let Your Dogtooth Grow’, which stood out of from the crowd in recent months with their infectious bass grooves, trippy guitars and breezy attitude. 'Blue Suitcase (Disco Wrist)' lives up to our high expectations, delivering another brilliant dose of funky post-punk, which conjures memories of everything from Delta 5's scratchy guitars and bass-driven jams to Chic's polished 70s disco sound. The band explain, “Blue Suitcase is a track that was mostly written over the last few days of summer, inspired by events, discussions and ‘philosophical’ musings that took place in the studio during the recording of the album. We wanted to completely let loose with the track, combining psych- garage wig outs with elements of our favourite disco and dance boogie tracks, such as Luther Davis Group’s ‘You Can Be A Star’ and Rita Lee’s ‘Chega Mais’. The lyrics also fuse together an anecdotal story of spotting an unaccompanied case on a train platform, and the allegorical discussions and theories that followed. This included topics ranging from Schrodingers Cat to James and the Giant Peach!” -HLMX
