The Orphanage Committee – Continuities Vol.II In The Context Of A Room (Album – Digital/CD – EE Tapes)
Belgian artist Orphan S.C. Wallace returns with a new release from his sonic alter-ego, The Orphanage Committee. This latest opus is a collaboration with EE Tapes, who are once again behind the release. The album features six extended tracks that spotlight the familiar genres of the project. While the music has a Soundtrack-appeal, it remains somewhat Abstract and highly Experimental. The pervasive organ sounds create a unique atmosphere that feels both sacred and mysterious. Occasionally, experimental guitar elements emerge, blending seamlessly with the repetitive loops. This project continues to impress me, evoking the sense of an imaginary Soundtrack. It’s music best suited for immersive listening experiences. (Rate:7½).
