Oriole - Migration

MIGRATION is Oriole's second album, a sensory banquet of soaring melodies, colourful South American folklore, lively dances and emotional ballads of longing. Music that creates a rich, emotionally disquieting world that is at once familiar and dreamlike. A world of freedom, of movement, of dusty roads and traveling musicians in shaded market squares whose journey will never end. These are songs of magical realism mingling elements of fantasy, myth, desire and wanderlust in renderings that blur traditional distinctions between what is serious or trivial, melancholic or joyous. Featuring composer/guitarist Jonny Phillips, Seb Rochford (drums) Ingrid Laubrock (sax) Ben Davis (cello) Adriano Adawali Itauna (percussion) Idris Rahman (clarinet) Anders Christiansen (bass) and vocalist Julia Biel.
