Who is The Orange Peels?
The Orange Peels is an American rock band that has its roots in the international indie-pop and indie-rock movements of the 1990s. Over seven albums, the group has extended its pop sensibilities beyond the borders of those genres to explore psychedelia, orchestral pop, progressive rock, and electronic music. The band's music has been compared to artists as varied as Todd Rundgren, Prefab Sprout, The Posies, Big Star, Yes, and R.E.M. Though the band's lineup has changed several times, founding members Allen Clapp and Jill Pries have been the nucleus. Since the summer of 2019, the band has been a trio, made up of Clapp, Pries, and Gabriel Coan. The band completed production of a double album in late 2020 at its headquarters in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Released in the spring of 2021, three singles were issued from the album: "Thank You" (2020), "Birds Are Louder" (2020), and "Give My Regards to Rufus (2021).
