Last month Oranje followed up their 2023 debut EP Pure Sport with their excellent debut album In Irons. The Calgary-based math rock trio draws on their jazz background along with Midwest emo to create intricate, inventive arrangements that will have you noticing something new each time you listen. The album also finds the band leaning more into their collaborative side as they welcome talented local musicians into the fold, including vocalists Sophia Truscott, Drew Morrell, and Jerome “K-Riz” Henry. This collaborative approach also saw the band adding to their sonic palette with the addition of organ, cello, bassoon, violin, and alto sax. In Irons is available everywhere digitally now.
