Description/Reviews: 

The word “immersive” comes to mind. The sound is so powerful and physically arresting, and the varying guitar permutations so strange yet alluring, that the music swallows the listener whole, as if we too have become sandwiches for this hungry album to consume. The music’s immersive qualities are also a function of Orso‘s impressive ability to create convincing emotional connections. Most of the moods are dark ones, calamitously distraught at times and at others introspective and hopeless, but they’re irresistible nonetheless.

Description/Reviews: 

'Fragments' is an album lyrically divided in four acts as a human protagonist contemplates his individuality, spirals towards isolation, collapses along with his world view, and finally capitulates under the weight of these revelations.
Musically the band is making a stand between the modern elements of its debut album «Downfall Of Man» (2011) and the spontaneous approach on the «The Bikini Blues-Sessions»-EP (2012).
