The Orphans releases new album '5:30 AM On A Rainy Day'

NEW YORK (Fountainbleu Ent./ www.fountainbleu.com) - Their names are simple–they're only known professionally as Michael, Spektor, Conus, and Gene–but their sound is as rich and textured as modern pop music gets. The Orphans, hailing from the well-worn streets of Brooklyn, New York, are making their mark with their just released debut CD, 5:30 AM On A Rainy Day, their first on the Fountiainbleu Entertainment label.

Early returns for this exciting and innovative live act are proving as pleasing as they are unprecedented. 'With lyrics and sounds that explore ones personal connection to their physical environment - dark yet warm, introspective yet connected - The Orphans is Radiohead for the not so disenchanted,' reported a Russian music website recently, and with good reason. Already, this group is being compared to contemporaries such as The Muse, Coldplay, and other high-charting acts, but The Orphans are laying claim to a wholly new, startlingly fresh sound.

How fresh? This is a groove that's hard to pigeonhole, but easy for fans of modern rock to enjoy. Great songwriting? You'll find it on tunes that integrate rock, jazz, and Latin rhythms such as 'Bad Day' and 'Escape.' Unexpected, lilting twists? You'll find them on 'Broken Satellite' and 'Sun Goes Down,' featuring special guests Khmit and Leatherface of Wu-Tang Clan. Fine musicianship? You'll hear their talents on 'Away' and 'Move On,' or on any of the 12 tracks on this superb debut.

Already, The Orphans have graced the stages of such nationally renowned East Coast venues as The Bitter End, Galapagos, Lions Den, The Roxy, and Hammerstein Ballroom. Now, the group is on the verge of brining its distinctive, diversified music to venues all over the U.S. and Canada. Give 5:30 AM On A Rainy Day a single listen, and you'll see why this new CD is a must for your playlist or boards.

The Orphans' new CD release, 5:30 AM On A Rainy Day, is distributed by BleuFuse Marketing, a division of Fountainbleu Entertainment. For more information on The Orphans, interview requests, or promotional materials, please contact Fountainbleu at (718) 296-8122 or at [email protected].
