10-10-2007 08:35

In December 2005 Orson had just signed a deal with Mercury Records and since then it’s been a non-stop whirlwind which has included their first single hitting the top of the charts, their debut album entering the charts at #1 and winning a Brit Award in February this year.Bright Idea’s follow up certainly comes packed with neighbour-terrorising potential. First single, Ain’t No Party is loaded up on drive time riffs and a rumbling rhythm section.Already added to Capital and Virgin 6 weeks ahead of release, the single looks set to propel Orson to the top of the charts once again. Elsewhere on the album, there’s a distinctly English influence - the band recorded Culture Vultures through the early months of 2007 in west London’s Townhouse Studios with Bright Idea producer, Noah Shain.The album is a ballsy, foot to the floor, party record that comes dappled with pop hooks and shower-friendly melodies. This is, after all, what Orson do best.
