Brought to our attention by the reliably excellent PRAH Recordings, inventive electro-folk outfit Orbury Common have announced a new EP. Spearheading the release is the intriguing lead single, 'The Crooked Bayleaf (feat. Tenchpress)' - a somewhat ominous piece of ritualistic dance music. Writhing with oscillating synthesizers and clattering industrial beats, chanting vocal samples give a sense of traditionalism to the forward-thinking offering. The band add: "A group of lassies enter stage left but the whole room is a stage and you’re the main character now. The backdrop - an empty hillside of too-green grass; projected shadows thumping along to the steady pulse of our narrator Tenchpress’s depraved patter." The Traditional Dance of Orbury Common will arrive on the 29th of April. -Holly Mullineaux
