Product Description:

Voices and Organs is a musical project which started in the Autumn of 2004 as a collection of short stories... these stories turned into songs and songs turned into a record soon to be released on Western Vinyl as Orphanage. Rooted in the group's love of fiction, the record deals with childhood/adolescent isolation through a series of short stories about a young boy and girl in an orphanage. Whether the orphanage is a metaphor for childhood or if it is actually the other way around is up to the listener to decide.

Written in the unstable climate of Sweden, recorded on Japanese machines through the English language, V & O try to bring about music balanced between warm as warmth gets and cloudy as a rainy morning on the Swedish westcoast. Right now the group is learning how to make the best out of their concerts and at the same time they're busy working with some new material.

The Voices and Organs project is headed by Per Lindmark. Per and friends craft sonic textures and dramatic melodies reminiscent of Sigur Ros or Müm, but more intimate and more focused on songwriting. Many of the tracks consist of several distinct parts seamlessly sewn together, as the group very consciously tells their stories sonically, melodically, and lyrically. Orphanage is the debut Voices and Organs release, and will be available this Winter.
