Orba Squara “Sunshyness”
November 13, 2008 by joel.
Hey, it’s the band that did the song in the original iPhone commercial! Yep. That is what Orba Squara will always be known as. The song is actually called “Perfect Timing (This Morning).” And there are words! It’s not just a 30-second song. Give it a try.
“So Comfortable” reminds me of Kristin Hersh, only kinder and gentler. I always wanted her to be a compassionate conservative, and finally my wish comes true. Like the rest of the album, there are peaceful instruments and soothing lyrics.
“My Favorite Song” isn’t my favorite song, but it doesn’t suck either. Really, a lot of these songs run together. One time, I fast forwarded through a song, and a 20-second jump through the track resulted in a seamless transition. It didn’t miss a beat.
It seems unlikely that Orba Squara will be able to emerge from the shadow created by the iPhone song, but I am sure they made so much money that it doesn’t really matter.
