Reviews and Comments

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.

They announce The Traditional Dance of Orbury Common, their debut release for PRAH Recordings (out 29th April). The EP's lead single "The Crooked Bayleaf", which features Bristol artist Tenchpress, is available now.

"A group of lassies enter stage left but the whole room is a stage and you’re the main character now. The backdrop - an empty hillside of too-green grass; projected shadows thumping along to the steady pulse of our narrator Tenchpress’s depraved patter." - Orbury Common on "The Crooked Bayleaf"

Of the EP, the pair say: “This record is an imagining of how the traditional ‘dance’ music of Orbury Common would sound: songs to accompany ecstatic ceremonies and strange, fire-side customs.
“It’s a bleary stumble through the nightlife of Orbury Common and aims to draw parallels between ancient rituals and raves, between holy temples and the dancefloor. It explores the primitive and visceral impulse to dance, and imagines scenes of communal frenzy, flailing limbs and vague humanoid shapes partaking in warped, beat-driven worship in the dark.”
