Oranje four piece alternative Grunge/Indie band from Ipswich are set to release their debut EP Bitter Sweet on Friday 23 February.
Throughout summer, they were given the chance to record a 5 track EP at Punch Studios and that was mixed and produced in London.
We had a chat with band to discover how the process of putting the EP together was like and the difficulties they faced to achieve their goals.
TiN: How did you find the process of recording your EP?
Elle (Bass): The actual recording process was so fun, it was summer so we were gigging loads and still writing at the same time. Luckily we had such a good engineer Craig Smith. He was so chilled and easy to work with.
TiN: Were there any challenges you faced whilst recording your EP?
Elle: Lack of communication and difference of opinions came into it. And later on the distance situation caused a rift but other than that, the process was smooth going.
TiN: What song did you most enjoy recording and why?
TiN: Which song was the most challenging?
TiN: What were your inspirations for the EP?
Elle: Trying to capture what we do live, the same energy and feel. And I think this is something we will try every time we do a recording. That live sound is what we try and deliver.
Oranje took over The Star Inn in Guildford with an exclusive pre-release performance of their debut EP ‘Bitter Sweet’ on Wednesday night with support from Waiting for Malory and Frames, Check back on Friday for our official review of Oranje’s debut EP!
