Description
Through this process of creative renewal, the Manchester-based trio – completed by
drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford – have managed to weather a pandemic, defy the fickleness
of a trend-led music industry, and emerge, phoenix-like, with something familiarly Orielles,
yet altogether different.
Recorded in two locations – Hydra and Hamburg – over the summer of 2024, the 11 tracks
of Only You Left sees the band consolidate the bold experimentation of their previous LP,
Tableau (2022), with a return to the more stripped-back, song-led approach of their early
origins.
“There’s nothing more trad than a three-piece,” quips Henry, in reference to the band’s
decision to return to their roots as a trio. Originally from Halifax, the Orielles first came to
recognition in 2018 with their debut album, the indie-rock Silver Dollar Moment, which is
approaching its eighth birthday in February 2026. “These things come in like seven year
cycles. So we've come in like a full circle back to a familiar place, just as different people.”
By exploring binaries and contrasts, the Orielles are finding shapes in the chaos and
confusion of the world around us – it’s an undertaking that benefits from more than 15 years
of close collaboration, driven by friendship and the artistic compulsion to find meaning in
music
