Orenjii - Emotional Oranges [Orange Vinyl]

If there was one word to describe Orenjii, it would be juxtaposition. We wanted to blend worlds that typically don't belong together or aren't viewed as complementary and create a new feeling.

Orenji means 'orange' in both Korean and Japanese. The time we've spent in Seoul and Tokyo over the past few years have had a strong influence on our overall taste and helped inspire the album title and concept. That coupled with how they embraced our music and art, sometimes faster than other cultures, is something we always took note of. With that said, lyrically this is a record rooted in love of self and love for others. When it came down to it, we just wanted to make a collection of music that would give the younger versions of ourselves hope.

The extensive touring we've done also helped shape the sound of the album. Not only do you get to see what music connects live, but there's nothing more fulfilling than getting to build that brick by brick relationship with each fan. There are people still pulling up to our shows who have been there since 2019 and seen the growth and progression. This project is largely motivated by them and those experiences; a real testament to consistently being true to yourself and whatever sets you apart. We've always had faith that staying the course would eventually yield the results we're looking for, which is ultimately finding a community that loves what we love.
