FIZZY ORANGE – “FIZZY ORANGE IN MONO”

Grassroots, independent and fiercely up-and-coming Dublin six-piece, Fizzy Orange, unveil debut EP “Fizzy Orange in Mono”.

Fizzy Orange, renowned for their analogue-only fusion of ’60s songwriting, ’70s studio techniques, and ’80s recording revolution, have consistently sold out venues across the UK and Ireland, cementing their status as festival favorites. Now, the band unveils their latest offering, “Fizzy Orange in Mono,” a richly embellished nostalgia trip blending retro sensibilities with 21st-century flair.

Across the six tracks of their debut EP, Fizzy Orange delivers an enigmatic and eclectic sonic experience. From the infectious rhythm and melodic hooks of “Rita” to the high-energy fervor of “Choo Choo,” each track showcases the band’s unbridled dynamism, innovative spirit, and undeniable talent, leaving a lasting impression on listeners.

Speaking on the creative process for the project, the group sheds some light, explaining “We love all things simple, self-aware and slightly 60’s.

There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors between an independent band that are self-releasing and reaching people. A lot of slow process’ and time commitments. Without any external helping hands or deep pockets to push things forward our best practice has always been DIY.

For our debut EP we decided to commit to a couple of classic techniques in writing and recording. We went down the country for a writing session in co. Leitrim and then straight back to Sonic Studio’s in Dublin. We worked with engineer Iain Faulkner who convinced us to commit everything to MONO. We were sold on just committing an entire recording session to the classic direct sound, most of our references were Beatles/Beach Boys anyway. We used all outboard analog gear, did reference mixing on the studio desk and just committed from the get-go. No going back now! It was co-mixed and mastered by Karl Barnes (Loom Sound Studios).

It doesn’t always work, when recording fast and often on listening back you can become very critical of yourself. But when you look around and your bandmates are the same people from school days spent jamming in a shed in 2016 it’s easier to convince each other to keep on keeping on. We still get back to that shed now and have conjured up our best tunes. Maybe something in the walls, the smiles or the faces wearing them.

Fizzy Orange In Mono is an ode to DIY Dublin City Soul music!”
