Orouni: “Charles And Sylvester”

By: Jack Anderson

The philosophy behind French songwriter Rémi Antoni is all about building bridges between left and right brain, simplicity and complexity and beyond to create the world of Orouni. Antoni started the group as a solo endeavor and now, nearly a decade and a half later, this Parisian indie pop outfit is quick to charm listeners with atypical instrumentation, rich harmonies and a serious dedication to their craft. Orouni recalls sounds of The Kinks and Bob Dylan as much as they do Belle & Sebastian and other contemporaries and just last Friday they released their fourth record Partitions.

The fourteen new tunes on Partitions make for a great introduction to Orouni, so tune up your Tuesday and be a third wheel for a bit with “Charles And Sylvester”!

The Runaway Grooms: “Mister Ford”

In the late ’60s and early ’70s, jam bands were all the rage. But now, in an era where song durations hinge on short attention spans or knowledge that shorter tunes simply hit bigger streaming numbers faster, jam bands are actually pretty polarizing. Even more recent innovators like Mars Volta or Godspeed You! Black Emperor […]
