About

Far away in the hidden civilization of the Faroe Islands the quintet ORKA spent Christmas 2005 at founder Jens L. Thomsen’s father’s farm building musical instruments out of power tools and farm equipment. ORKA soon left the farm with their self-built instruments and started their travel through Europe. “Until now I never knew there was such a thing as commercial avant-garde” one reviewer wrote. ORKA’s music is experimental, innovative and yet extremely catchy. Sharp and electro-inspired beats with dark and manic layering from the unique instruments and the powerful vocals, singing in the native, Faroese tongue. The musical universe ORKA creates is unique, like nothing else, and their live performances are as shifting as the weather of their homeland, at times like the whisper of a summer day, and at times as the scream of a deadly December storm. .
