Whether it was intentional or not, it was something that seems to have greatly inspired Orton and which planted the seeds of a musical rebirth.
#BETH ORTON CENTRAL RESERVATION RAR HOW TO#
Perhaps this is why, instead of entrusting her with an acoustic guitar, he handed her a keyboard and taught her how to use Ableton. His excitement was palpable and he confessed to being a big fan of Orton’s early work, while the latter albums bypassed him. The Skinny spent some time with Hung in Hong Kong the week the first single from the record, Moon, was released. We got very high and were like, 'Let’s be a band! Yeah, fuck it, let’s do it!'" As Orton puts it: “We had these beautiful ten days and it was fun. He had remixed Mystery, a track from previous record, Sugaring Season, and the pair had vowed to do something again in the future.Īfter she decamped to California, Orton told him: “Fuck it, come out.” He bought himself a ticket and they spent a week and a half in a garden studio playing with loops and experimenting with sounds.

Orton has returned to the UK from Los Angeles, were she has spent the past few years living with her husband Sam Amidon – the celebrated folk alchemist – and raising her young children. Oh god… shut the fuck up, just shush me…" On working with Fuck Buttons' Andrew Hung I’ve fucking had a baby… I can do this.' One of the reasons I had kids was to make better music, hah.

Discussing Kidsticks and the work that went into it, she beams with pride. Orton swapped her acoustic guitar for a keyboard and worked along with Andrew Hung of Fuck Buttons in building an album that’s grounded in loops and beats, but which also includes a stellar cast of musicians including Dustin O’Halloran ( A Winged Victory For The Sullen), Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear) and George Lewis Jr (Twin Shadow). This was the first time she took a hand in record production, having worked with the likes of Andrew Weatherall, William Orbit and Jim O’Rourke in the past.
