Editorial Reviews

One of the great joys of watching young bands mature is the way that they work through their influences to develop their own sound. But what of those groups that wear their influences on their sleeve? Oranger, for instance, makes no bones about digging the Zombies, Who, T. Rex, and the Beach Boys a whole lot, since they cop the sounds of those bands all over the place. But ironically, the more this San Francisco-based quartet has just given in to their inner pop demons and stopped trying to be too original or hard-rocking, they’ve become far more interesting. Where their previous records were merely interesting, with Shutdown, Oranger finally delivers a textured, expertly-crafted, and moody classic of contemporary, ‘60s-inspired indie-rock. The first pressing of the album comes with a fully-loaded extra CD of rarities going back to 1998. Fans of Beulah, Superchunk, Elf Power, and Spoon are sure to dig this album. --Mike McGonigal
