Orisits debut EP is a little shoegaze prog masterpiece which will take you through a whole coming-of-age story within 25 minutes.
"Peace" guides us into the EP with lush guitar arrangements, even lusher vocals and incredibly tight drum builds, accompanied with mellow organ bridges in a neatless arrangement. Jake has a wonderful and super versatile voice, so it almost sounds like more than one person is singing and the dubs and backing vocals are just sweetly reverbing and wrapping themself into the massive and complex instrumental composition.
"Good life" celebrates the process and work which comes with love. It´s an ode to commitment, including its longing and growing pains and the overflowing joy when another step is taken and you turn around, realising, how beautiful the road is you´ve taken together and what you have built along the way. And this story is also expressed musically- the instrumentation is shifting between nostalgia and euphoria and couldn´t be more genuine.
"The Cycle" takes us on a almost 11 Minute long ride through time and space, with beautifully interwoven stories told by wailing reverbed guitar solos and soft steel strings picked with kind hands. The breaks, where Jake tells the story of two lovers choosing life and love over and over again vocally are carried by a tight bassline which mirrors all the joy and heaviness of this journey just beautifully. Again, the arrangements are complex and the instrumental storytelling is incredible. I was literally up there with them seeing universes collide.
This is best consumed in one go as it feels to me the whole EP is concepted to be heard in a cycle, again and again.
