WATCH: The Orielles tease new track on the Black Square Sessions

Gigslutz favourites, Halifax-born surf-pop trio The Orielles have been receiving plenty of acclaim of late for the sunny, jangly melodies and twinkling,reverb-strewn harmonies. With many headline shows and festival appearances – including Canadian Music Week – under their belts, and praise from the likes of Steve Lamacq and The Independent, they’re ready for their next adventure.

The Orielles are now previewing their brand new track, ‘Krewcut’, on The Black Square Sessions; the session, including three live sessions tracks and an interview with the band, will go live online on Monday 29 August, but in the meantime, watch a sneaky preview here:

The young band are also set to be curating their own weekend in Manchester on 25 and 26 November. The weekend will consist of headline sets from The Orielles, as well as a lineup featuring some of their favourite new acts including  ZuZu, Parly Hardly, The Roasts, Fentonville Street Band and Corey Bowen.

And, as if that wasn’t enough, in the mean time The Orielles are going to be heading out joining Spanish band The Parrots on a number of UK tour dates.
