Album Review: The Orange Humble Band - Depressing Beauty

"They now grace us with a pleasant, yet not overly gripping 15-track album."

Behold, the first release in over ten years from alternative rock group, The Orange Humble Band.

Good enough for a sunny day with a bucket of strawberries. Having taken a much-needed hiatus, they now grace us with a pleasant, yet not overly gripping 15-track album — it’s Paul Simon meets Superchunk. Many of the songs have a decent folk influence, but opening track, You Close Your Eyes, is pop rock and is probably the stand-out on the album. Lazy, hazy listening is bound to happen with this Sydney/US act.
