ÓRÓ is ORKA's second album. It was recorded in a cold concrete salt warehouse by the Ports of Tórshavn in the snow of February 2010. ORKA rented the building for 1 month, fixed microphones and geophones on all 3 levels, staircases, elevators, built instruments and wrote and recorded all the material then and there and at Tórshavn's hospital together with audio mangler Oktopus [MRC Riddims, Dälek, Deadverse]. The result is a dark Lynchian universe, luminous with icy Nordic vocals on top of evolved grit hop.
