Only You Left - LP

Through this process of creative renewal, the Manchester-based trio The Orielles - completed by drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford - have managed to weather a pandemic, defy the fickleness of a trend-led music industry, and emerge 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 see 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. Originally from Halifax, the Orielles first came to recognition in 2018 with their debut album Silver Dollar Moment, which is approaching it's eighth birthday in February 2026, marking a full-circle return to a familiar place as different people. By exploring binaries and contrasts, the Orielles are finding shapes in the chaos and confusion of the world around us - an undertaking that benefits from more than 15 years of close collaboration, driven by friendship and the artistic compulsion to find meaning in music.
