The Orielles expand to a quartet and share funky new cut, "Bobbi's Second World".

The Orielles have shared new track "Bobbi's Second World" having recruited new keys player Alex Stephens.

"Bobbi's Second World" arrives alongside their cover of Peggy Gou's "It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)".

Speaking about the two offerings, The Orielles explain, ""Bobbi's Second World", written with the addition of a new member on keys, exhibits an explosion of new sounds and ideas that came to fruition after a long summer of playing festivals and taking inspiration from music that made us dance. It centres around the story of a cat named Bobbi who, in order to become a lady, has to experience the extremities of two complex and differing realities- situated in her front and back gardens respectively. The eccentric instrumentation, influenced by northern soul, post-punk and funk music, matches the quirkiness of the lyrics to create a song that concerns a young cats maturity whilst displaying a certain maturity in the music itself. After noticing a passion for songs that make us emotional; want to dance and quite literally 'forget', we decided to cover one of Peggy Gou's latest floor fillers, 'Itgehane aka "It Makes You Forget" hoping that we could evoke the aforementioned qualities of music within other listeners!"

The Orielles' new track is their first offering since their Silver Dollar Moment record that arrived earlier this year.

"Bobbi's Second World" is out now. As part of their UK tour, The Orielles play their biggest London show to date on 9 November at Heaven. Find out more.
