ORBA SQUARA’S SECOND RELEASE, THE TROUBLE WITH FLYING (RES FREq)
OUT OCTOBER 27, 2009
FOLLOW UP TO DEBUT ALBUM, sunshyness, WHICH INCLUDED “PERFECT TIMING
(THIS MORNING)” featured in Apple’s Worldwide iPhone® Television Campaign
After securing national distribution, Orba Squara’s
second release The Trouble With Flying will be
released October 27; this is the follow up to 2007’s
successful debut sunshyness. Mitch Davis, who
performs as Orba Squara, finds inspiration for his
natural free-flowing melodies from simple things in his
life, like his collection of acoustic guitars, toy pianos,
bells, and other instruments picked up at stores
(including a sitar bought in Japan), flea markets, and
given to him by friends. Flying though reflects Mitch’s interest in growth for
Orba with a bigger, louder and more ambitious sound than sunshyness.
While the debut was a conscious effort, according to Mitch, the songwriting and
recording of Flying “just happened” almost immediately after the release of
sunshyness. And while sunshyness was purposefully minimal, a sound
described by Pitchfork as “indie-folk, like a hybrid of Iron & Wine and the Boy
Least Likely To,” Mitch allowed himself to employ effects and amplification on
the new material. He wrote, performed and recorded nearly the whole album on
his own at his NYC studio, with the exception of the title track and “Tell Me,” which feature Billy Squier on vocals
and guitar. A week after a fortuitous backstage meeting where Mitch handed his childhood rock’n’roll hero (“The
Stroke,” “Everybody Wants You,” etc.) a copy of sunshyness, he and Squier began collaborating.
In addition to the new record, Mitch has undertaken the ambitious, creative, and critically praised The Trouble
With Flying web project found at www.orbasquara.com. The unique website (featuring design by Random
Collective) presents the album as a road trip, with footage captured from the 10-day bus tour that Mitch,
bandmate Zé Luis and friends took from NYC to Portland in early 2009. The adventure found its inspiration from
the album’s literal theme of exploring what is often missed when
flying, with beautiful photographs of local color, changing
landscapes, performances in the streets, ribs and biscuits, and
the long terrain between the coasts. Also on display are lyrics
and journal entries while the songs from Flying provide the
soundtrack to the 430-foot side-scrolling Flash document.
Orba Squara had incredible success with licensing the songs
from the debut sunshyness. Along with Apple’s selection of
“Perfect Timing (This Morning)” as the theme for its worldwide
TV iPhone® campaign, Frito Lay, Expedia, Saturn, Goodyear,
and Sun Chips also used songs from the record. The single
“The Trouble with Flying” and a tongue-in-cheek cover of Lady
Gaga’s “Poker Face” are available on iTunes now.
