Orthy is the solo project of Austin, TX-based producer, musician, DJ, graphic designer, and singer/songwriter Ian Orth.
Orth began recording Fable Living more than five years ago, as a follow-up to 2011's 'Suenos' EP (The Wurst Music Co.) and 2014’s E.M.I.L.Y. EP (Dither Down). After the hard drive upon which he had recorded sketches for his debut full-length burst into flames, he was forced to rethink the entire album. Combined with tragedy in his immediate family and the birth of his infant son, Orth channeled the anger and confusion he felt over life events he could not control into 10 songs of love and loss, with love ultimately winning in the end. The result is a therapeutic album that finds itself at home on both the dance floor and the after-hours wind-down.
The bulk of Fable Living was written, performed, and recorded by Orth between Orth’s home, and long-time friend and bandmate, James Jones’ (who served as the album's engineer and co-producer) Austin-based Twin Creeks Studios. Orth says he wanted the album to sound like an obscure record you’d discover in the back of the dollar bin, laced with hidden gems that stick with you for days. LinnDrums ran through the AMS RMX16. Thick shuffling bass lines are simultaneously at home with fans of French Touch and Lagos Disco Inferno. Guitars and synth are so crystalline it would make Scritti Politti blush. The result is a disco-tinged, heart-gripping collection of bedroom-pop inspired deep grooves.
