This remastered collection casts an ear over what Orleans might call the ‘pop sensibility’ within her back catalogue. Released previously on a number of small DIY labels, Orleans’ music coincided with the explosion of auto-didactic musicians finding their voice in the age of the blogosphere, artists emboldened by the democratisation of music-making afforded by the internet. From the outset, Orleans’ childhood studying formal music mixed with cut-up techniques, sampling, sound-art and experimentation to create a distinctive signature cloaked in an innate melancholy and playfulness. Fully remastered by James Plotkin, featuring extensive sleeve-notes and rare photos from Orleans’ archive, \u003ci\u003eMovies For Ears\u003c\/i\u003e presents an appraisal of the musician’s work, painting a portrait of an artist with an uncanny ability to evoke emotions and ghosts of memories in the listener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50456773984587,"sku":"1114502","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50456771658059,"sku":"1056801","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1a4ec4b6-cd13-4f01-83b9-c5f5b9ccbf30_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727200877"},{"product_id":"circles-of-upper-and-lower-hell","title":"Circles Of Upper and Lower Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Circles Of Upper and Lower Hell' is the grandest, deepest work to date by Polish-born, Glasgow-based sound artist and composer Ela Orleans. The seventh album under her own name, Orleans' expansive vision, loosely based on Dante's Inferno but infused with deep personal experience, incorporates sound art, orchestral textures, synth pop and electronic music to construct a world equally peppered with loss and inspiration. Circles Of Upper and Lower Hell pulls all the strands of Orleans' previous work together, an epic depiction of turmoil wide in scope but reveling in detail. From her beginnings inaugurating a lo-fi, homespun sound that has since developed fully into a language uniquely her own, from tentative live outings featuring multiple instruments to a now-masterly command of sound, Orleans has become one of the most consistently surprising musicians of the global underground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50468060692811,"sku":"403269","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50468060266827,"sku":"403270","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fddff625-e516-4c3f-9348-9cee63d0d88e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727344635"},{"product_id":"upper-hell","title":"Upper Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003eEla Orleans has released music on Warp, All Saints Records, Parental Guidance, La Station Radar, Night People, Clan Destine Records, Twisted Nerve and more.  Fans of her work include David Lynch, Thurston Moore and Ian Rankin.
