All About Me
From the tangled threads of Brunswick's derelict textile mills come The Orbweavers with their debut album Graphite & Diamonds.
Marita Dyson & Stuart Flanagan formed The Orbweavers in 2006 hanging around museums and libraries, writing songs on scrap catalogue cards by day, playing in the kitchen by night. Before long, they recruited friends Dave Leggatt (Mercury Spectres) on drums, Paddy Mann (Grand Salvo) on bass, and Dan Aulesbrook on trumpet to complete a quintet, and set about recording an album at the 5th Brunswick Scout Hall.
Graphite & Diamonds is a collection of 11 dark and dulcet songs straight from the abandoned knitting mills of their neighbourhood: a world of chiming electric guitar, haunted violin, mystery, and fittingly for the international year of astronomy 2009, the Moon. Beautiful folk melodies interplay with David Lynchian electric noir guitar, recalling early Belle & Sebastian, and the hushed vocals of Mazzy Star.
Drawn from a love of history and natural sciences, Graphite & Diamonds is "atmospheric and spooky, if this album was a thing, it would be a ladybeetle with long eyelashes, knitting a shawl of silver and gold" (Jenny O' Keefe, Cherrie Magazine & Joy FM)
