The Orbweavers delve into local urban history and deliver new material drawn from Melbourne’s built and natural environments. Ceiling Rose is a song about secrets and dreams, waking and worrying in the night, drifting between states of consciousness. A symbol of secrecy and confidentiality since ancient times, the ceiling rose is an enduring decorative feature in Australian interior architecture, and forms the central motif of this new single.

Match Factory is a dedication to Melbourne suburbs Cremorne, Richmond & Abbotsford, industrial and working life, and remnant buildings such as Dimmeys, the Bryant & May factory and Yorkshire Brewery silos. A song about loss and leaving, Match Factory was written walking through the northern river suburbs of Melbourne around the time of the ‘super moon’ in June 2013.

Since releasing Loom (Mistletone Records, 2012), The Orbweavers have been warming hearts and selling out shows with evocative songs and stories of creeks & quarries (Merri), the yearnings of a bridled greyhound (You Can Run – Fern’s Theme), and Melbourne’s historic sewerage pumping station (Spotswood), while continuing work on their forthcoming third album.

The Orbweavers are Marita Dyson on vocals, guitar and violin, Stuart Flanagan on vocals and guitar, Daniel Aulsebrook on trumpet, Paddy Mann (Grand Salvo) on bass, Jen Sholakis (Jen Cloher, Sailor Days) on drums and Stuart Lindsay on koto and organ.
