Orions Belte has long had a gift for turning musical complexity into playful and emotionally charged music. Its single “Silhouettes” moves in pulses and soaring tones with shuffling rhythms. Bass-driven and flute filigrees alongside urgent strings with fiery, fuzzy guitar mid-song “Silhouettes” is part progressive Bossa Nova pop and Krautrock and part orchestral psychedelia. Like a math rock Stereolab in moments and imbued with a similarly effusive energy and freshness of spirit that sweeps into your brain like a bright dream about a party in a retro-futurist jazz club in a cosmopolitan locale. Not just a studio creation, Orions Belte performed the song on its recent swing through North America and helped to cement the trio’s reputation as one of the leading lights of modern art rock.
