CARIBBEAN, THE - WILLIAM THE ORANGE (MCD)

Fourth release by this DC-based group, previous releases on Endearing and Tomlab. "This 'simple EP project' designed to try out new equipment, write odd songs, work with one of their favorite producers (Chad Clark), pursue their favorite medium (the EP), and collaborate with Hometapes, William of Orange wound up creating gaping philosophical rifts, catfights, dogfights, breath-holding, and panic attacks, as well as profound hearing loss and nervous hypoxia. At the end of the day, though, in William of Orange, one hears only sweet harmony and velvety cohesion. Silvery cymbals, creamy guitars and stuttering electronic glitches. Voices emoting in glorious unity." (label info)
