From Portland, Oregon to Germany to Brazil. Check out what new releases are out today from The Orchard distributed artists.
Lina Maly – Winter (Drei Tulpen Records)
Following her 2020 EP Hush Hush / Hamburg – an enchanting mix of withdrawn arrangements and acoustic reductionism – German singer-songwriter Lina Maly presents her new EP Winter. Maly’s music combines Hip-Hop influenced production with singer-songwriter melodies accompanied by delicate vocal harmonies and melancholic lyrics. Winter was produced alongside Hip-Hop producer Dead Rabbit (Marteria, Peter Fox & Samy Deluxe) to create a four-track project that offers two distinct perspectives between Lina Maly and Dead Rabbit. Listen to Winter out now via Drei Tulpen Records.
Typhoon – Sympathetic Magic (Roll Call Records / House Arrest)
Portland indie-rock group Typhoon present their new album Sympathetic Magic (Roll Call Records / House Arrest). Sympathetic Magic is the band’s follow up to their critically-acclaimed 2018 album Offerings, which was followed by extensive touring and sold-out shows across North America, UK, and Europe. At the end of October, leading up to the US election, Typhoon released their stand-alone single “Welcome to the Endgame.” Sympathetic Magic was written over the last few months in lockdown and came as a surprise to fans on Friday morning. Lead singer Kyle says on the album, “The songs are about people – the space between them and the ordinary, miraculous things that happen there, as we come into contact, imitate each other, leave our marks, lose touch.”
Elza Soares – Carioca da Gema (Deck)
Brazilian musician, writer, activist, and overall-icon Elza Soares celebrated her 90th birthday last year. And still, at 90-years-old, Elza has no plans to slow the roll on releasing music. Elza originally released her album Carioca da Gema in 1999 in physical format, and for the first time Carioca da Gema arrives on digital platforms! Elza performed hits such as “Trem das Onze” (Adoniran Barbosa), “Chove Chuva” (Jorge Ben), “Balanço Zona Sul” (Tito Madi) and paid tribute to Wilson Simonal singing “Meu Limão Meu Limoeiro” (Carlos Imperial / José Carlos Burle”) and “Mama Passed Sugar on Me ”(Bill César).
