More than 10 years ago I stumbled on a song called "The Sea is my Soul" by Dark Orange.  I was entranced by the female vocals with an Ethereal-Shoegazer sound. Dark Orange is on the rise with a new album and with one of the members of -And The Trees joining forces. Dark Orange's sound is consistent with Ethereal-Shoegaze songs that are not unlike Cocteau Twins. The song, "Four Winds" will remind most of Faith & the Muse and calls upon old schooll goth and enchants. Another song, "A room in my Head" is a throw back to the 80s. This song does not disappoint.  An even better version- if possible of Kate Bush's -The Man with the Child in his Eyes " that I used to sing constantly when Kate released this tune.
