Leaves when I want her to and stays when I am glad

I was born in Portland, Oregon on March 20th 1986. I grew up there and with wet feet found the music, climate, people, coffee, doughnuts, and other stuff of the Pacific Northwest to be very inspiring. We have very nice waterfalls, campgrounds, hiking trails, mountains, wind chimes, beaches, birds and infinite other wildlifes I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with growing up, despite living in the city. -Adrian Orange

Adrian orange is a wonderfull young man, full of creativity and joy. He is the youngest member of a new west coast bohemia sporting rainbow flip-flops and their hearts on their sleeves. The other members include the likes of Little Wings and Phil Elvrum, so he is in good company. Awkwardly towering at over 6 feet tall, Adrian's unique live performances that at times boarder on performance art are worth attending.

The first selection, The Closer That I Come, From the album nothing is the song that made me fall for the genius of Adrian's music and is in my mind a perfect song. It is clearly about something, yet exactly what it is about is left up to you. At 1:55 we are treated with a blissful ending that plants a smile on my face every time. All this and he was only 16.


The second song is pulled from a more recent effort Welcome Nowhere that was made with the help of Phil Elvrum. It sounds older, and maybe a little less full of joy....

Jordan at Said the Gramophone recently posted an unfinished song by Montreal's Crackpot. This song has been stuck in my head for days. The opening line "Everything you say is wonderful that is why you are so fuckable" need I say more? Go listen.
