Ormonde

Ormonde is an American indie folk duo featuring singer/songwriters Anna-Lynne Williams (Lotte Kestner, Trespassers William) and Robert Gomez. After the dissolution of a brief romance, Williams and Gomez traveled to the small town of Marfa, Texas to write and record the ten songs that would make up their Hometapes debut. The resulting Machine is a lush, intimate collection of honest and vulnerable exhumations of love both won and lost, that dutifully reflects each of the artist's musical inspirations, from St. Vincent and Emmit Rhodes to Midlake and Blonde Redhead. It was released in the summer of 2012. ~ James Christopher Monger
