We can be contacted by email on mail@greennote.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just when you think American roots music should be relegated to the dusty confines of a purist's museum it will surprise you with a paradigm shift. Take Marty O'Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra passing through tradition, stumbling upon innovation, proving that old souls can be creatively fresh. The Santa Cruz, California-based artist's latest, Stereoscope, marks an evolutionary leap in a journey of artistic identity and song-writing maturity. Here, Marty homes in on his signature cosmic roots aesthetic, brimming with cinematic songcraft, impressionistic lyrics, clever arrangements, telepathic ensemble interplay, and soulfully world-weary vocals. Imagine the delta blues reprised by psychedelic indie rockers. Stereoscope is no doubt a milestone entry for Marty O'Reilly, offering forth his most assured and mature release to date. We put our heart and soul into this album, shares Marty. It's the album I've always wanted to make one that ten years later I can still be proud of. Making it has made me feel whole, and brought me a lot of joy. www.martyoreilly.com

Marty O'Reilly Biography

Explaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream.

It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined.

The live performance is at the core of Marty’s projects. On stage, whether accompanied by a band, or alone, he enters a trance and the music is born again as something new every night. It’s what his followers call “magic”. He goes from raw gospel blues to cinematic epics, from heavy driving grooves to delicately arranged folk songs. Marty leaves the stage out of breath and sweaty, his audience in awe. It's hard to describe, impossible to categorize. Yet people who know the music will try to explain it to you, just as you might struggle to explain a dream in the morning. The details might slip away as you recount them, but the feeling remains.
