Orcas Announce How To Color a Thousand Mistakes

Honestly, its been a hot minute since Benoit Pioulard has made it onto the ATH pages, but with the return with his collaborative Orcas project (working with Rafael Irisarri) after years away, has me revisiting past tunes. As the duo announce How to Color a Thousand Mistakes, they promise that their ambient work will move in a more pop-centric direction, which you can certainly hear just after the 2 minute mark. Up until that moment, you have the cavernous drift of ambiance and delicate vocals, but hitting upon the bubbling charms begins to flex the song into something that almost resembles a post-punk adjacent exploration (also featuring Simon Scott of Slowdive on drums). Give this one a go, and look for the new LP on July 19th via Morr Music.
