ORBITER
Mini LP (EP) - LOVELESS
A male/female trip-hop duo, Orbiter is Seattle's answer to Everything But The
Girl. Fiia McGann provides the sultry female vocals while her collaborator,
Harris Thurmond, takes up the musical reins, skillfully manning the guitars,
keyboards and electronics (he also takes on the lead vocal duties for "You"
and "Paper Tiger"). The band's debut, Mini LP, includes five vocal tracks
tidily bookended between "3 A.M.," a low-key instrumental tune, and its
reprise. Orbiter brings a lot of soul to these songs, never allowing the
organic instrumentation to be eclipsed by drum loops and other electronic
decorations. Blues guitar licks, pretty, laid-back loops, and McGann and
Thurmond's low-key vocals handsomely complement gentle piano. That
understatedness adds an extra bit of sexiness to the album -- epitomized by
McGann's breathy, seductive temptress vocals on "Bribery," which also include
the sort of fun, pulsing keyboards you might expect to hear on a Fatboy Slim
track.
