Orcutt Shelley Miller - “Orcutt Shelley Miller” | Album Review

Comprised of five tightly tensioned tracks, this collection cements Orcutt Shelley Miller as architects of sonic interplay and metallic amalgamation. No lyrics necessary — this is avant-rock musical storytelling from three living legends (with the beards to prove it).
