The origins of Orka date back more than a decade, when the band began crafting their own handmade instruments out of agricultural tools on a small farm in the Faroe Islands. From those humble beginning, they have created a bold, cathartic electronic sound that has earned them fans around the world, and two nominations for the Nordic Council Music Prize. <13 sees founder Jens L. Thomsen once again team up with recurring collaborator Oktopus (internet.and.weed, BKGD Audio, D?lek) furthering their signature sampling and morphing of the self-built instruments into twisted neanderthal techno. The EP was made between New York, London, and Faroe Islands collecting found sounds from the cities and drawing inspiration from found environments and artists Papay Gyro Nights, This Is Waa and Barbara ?
