Kris Orlowski - Believer

2014 release from the Seattle-based Indie Folk singer/songwriter and his band. Produced by Martin Feveyear, of Jupiter Studios in Seattle, the songs that make-up BELIEVER were woven together along the West Coast: From the salty shores of Seaside, OR., and Orcas Island's Doe Bay, to the corners of Orlowski's Seattle apartment - as well as the practice spaces in between. And the collection, rich with personal experiences and thoughtful reflection, may prove the band's most honest and empowering work yet. Shedding the lush sounds of a 17 piece orchestra for more traditional Rock and pop arrangements, the cinematic record is more punch-y and experimental than their earlier folk-infused traditions. I think the album will inspire some hope, but I also think it will go beyond that and give people a reason to act, Orlowski says. In other words, it might encourage finding something to believe in.
