Orior’s first release introduces Marlon Lopez with a record that boldly explores the boundaries of time and genre. Limited to 300 copies, this debut EP is as uncompromising as it is unique. Crafted in near isolation amidst the forest, Marlon’s work is untouched by the usual club influences, offering a refreshing, introspective take on new wave and 80s-inspired EBM. Featuring live bass, 70’s synths, and guitars, the tracks exude an uplifting energy— capturing the raw spirit of punk while steering clear of darkness. Equally at home in a state-of-the-art studio or a stripped-down DIY setup, this record feels neither old nor new, neither band nor machine. It’s music for the present moment, with a timeless appeal that’s hard to categorize. This is the record Marlon couldn’t find elsewhere—a unique blend of rhythm, low end, and synth nostalgia that transcend genres. Orior (Latin for “I rise”) is the brainchild of LVCA. Born from a journey of resilience and creativity, Orior reflects a commitment to artistic individuality and is a celebration of rising through challenges with limitless vision.
