about

ORBURY COMMON, the Bristol / Stroud cosmic bucolic electronica duo release a four-track Devil Gurning EP.

EP opener and lead single "Constant Billy" features Boss Morris (the all-female, progressive morris group from Stroud who recently appeared at The Brits with Wet Leg).

"This is our interpretation of a traditional morris dancing tune… Last year we invited Boss Morris to perform at the launch of our ‘Traditional Dance’ EP. We took a tune that they usually dance to and electrocuted it for our own malicious means, and delighted as they frolicked around our floating stone maypole!" - Orbury Common on "Constant Billy"

ORBURY COMMON is more than Bristol and Stroud-based musicians Josh Day-Jones and Emlyn Bainbridge. It’s a place rooted in their collective imagination, a warped parallel to our own world, with its own strange cultures, customs, landscapes and landmarks.

Released last year on PRAH Recordings, The Traditional Dance of Orbury Common was the most thorough navigation of their created world yet. It explored not just the environment but its main residents the orbs, who, in keeping with the haunting nature of the music, are described as half-physical, floating manifestations of lost, fragmented memories.

Many songs start with manipulated samples, often folkloric, historic or otherworldly in their origin, with others put together initially across a collection of synths, samplers, drum machines and guitars.

“There are themes and sonics that consistently run through our music such as the idea of a nostalgia for a past that we haven’t experienced; a blending of electronic and organic, countryside sounds and influences; and an emphasis on trying to encapsulate and channel the prevailing atmosphere of the otherworldly place that is Orbury Common” the group say, and in times of turbulence that portal for respite and escape has never felt more important.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
