Their work, primarily composed by Orchid McRae, has been described as having “this experimental, almost skramz type of sound, but then the singing came through in this operatic way” (Raised by Cassettes). orchiddBB’s debut album, recorded with Oliver Ignatius at Holy Fang, will be released soon.

subcommander: Marcos Rocha, Josh Mathews, and Connor Zito perform their take on rock music. subcommander is a Brooklyn based project, songs written by Marcos.
