Norwegian art pop group Orions Belte teamed up with Norway Grammy-nominated vocalist Louien aka Live Miranda Solberg for the delicate dream pop of “When You’re Gone I’ll Be Gone.” The track from the band’s new album Women (released October 6, 2023) is a bit of a departure for the trio well known for its amalgam of progressive rock, indie pop and psychedelia. Louien’s melodious vocals are like something out of an earlier decade of pop music backed by subtle low end and percussion accents. But later in the song Orions Belte comes in with the distorted and noisy psychedelia swimming in the keyboard melody sounding like it’s melting off the pristine, icicle tones and the song pulses in increasingly cacophonous glory before ending with a minimal tranquil riff on acoustic guitar. The song takes us through a gamut of emotional shifts befitting the song title and the lyrics delivered by Louien.
