RETRO REVIEWS

can remember the first time I heard Futurebirds. It was 2014, I was driving through Ohio listening to Spotify radio that had taken over from a playlist I’d made. The first track of their sophomore album “Virginia Slims” came through the speakers of my Kia Soul, and I was immediately thrusted into this dreamy atmosphere that had psychedelic country woven into lyrics that just make you want to sing along. I distinctly remember saying out loud to myself in awe “What the fuck is this?”

Photographing artists with large hats is always a challenge as most of the time, they cast their face in dark shadows. For Orville’s show, the light was pretty manageable, so the biggest challenge was to pick my spots and wait for moments where his face was in view. After a while of doing this, you get pretty good at anticipating lighting changes and body movements based upon the dynamics of the music and use that to give the best chance to be in the right place at the right time with the right settings.
