The two musicians come from interesting bands as IN ZAIRE, LAGO MORTO, GIJOE, LETTERA 22 and as Orfanado they are releasing their second album, after the first on Troglosound. The sound of the band is an incredible mix of psychedelia, folk, and prog played with acoustic guitars, sitar, wind instruments, percussions and processed voices.

Heat Wave – ‘Hennessy & Chronic’ CD
Heat Wavecant come in m’door unless you in yo g-string bikini…. originally a mixtape for rose quartz…..under his other guise as Heat Wave – that philosophy is ramped up and it sounds pretty fantastic, really? Disembodied fragments of hip-hop and classic rock warp & blend into “found sounds”; screwed up, unrecognisable fragments of speech spiral in; choppy beats dissect the melodic passages in a way that’s disorienting but so fascinating. The greatest achievement is that this feels like a whole new work of art but you can still nod your fucking head to it.
