   About orisha




CLICK ON LINKS



Orisha explore the boundary between tense restraint and total surrender with their lush, vocal-based electronica. Their critically-acclaimed eponymous debut took listeners on a moody sonic journey through jazz, dub, and industrial influences, lifted by the ethereal vocals of
Emah Fox, a voice described by Rolling Stone as
'lush and emotive'.

Tracks from the first album received airplay across Australia, Europe and America, including high rotation on JJJ, featured in compilations and in independent films, and was Revolver Magazine's dance CD of the week. Their second album, 'Falling Open' takes the strengths of Orisha's debut , now adding choral, operatic, and discordant harmonies for a more intimate and playful album that still retains the dark mystery of the first.

Live, Orisha features Emah on vocals,keyboard & samples, joined by Mark Cauvin on double bass and Amy Valent on marimba & percussion.

Orisha’s music continues to evoke raw, sometimes contradictory moods – at once melancholic, uplifting, brutal, and more.

Their heartfelt lyrics and lavish soundscapes create an elusive sense of mystery that haunts listeners long after the music has ceased...


‘Once in a while an album seems to come out of nowhere and knock you sideways… this is a richly textured collection of tracks… emotive vocals and fine lyrics…’

Ministry of Sound

‘The way her (vocalist Emah Fox) lush, emotive voice works within the dense and tricky tech-beat soundscapes here is nothing short of joyous… a rich sense of melody and drama.’

- Rolling Stone


‘Darkly beautiful, organic, sincere, haunting – everything that’s missing from so much modern music… it’s love at first listen.’

- Zebra


‘This is ambient electronica at its finest… the entire album is somewhat of a revelation… world-class electronica …’
- Revolver
