Luminescent Orchestrii
Luminescent Orchestrii is one of those bands that you might be hesitant to listen to due to the somewhat ridiculous name, but end up doing so anyway because you enjoy slightly ridiculous names. They will greet you with violins that can be quite rambunctious or simply relaxing. For those of you who prefer some excitement in your life, start with the music from the top, and for those who prefer relaxing songs, start with Moon Song. This band also has the distinct honor of being one of the only bands that consistently makes instrumentals that don’t put me to sleep, which is something of a feat considering how vocal-centric my ears seem to be. And because everyone likes lyrics, here’s some: “If you come a-knockin’, honey I don’t mind \ But if you’re not here for lovin’, baby don’t waste my time!” This would have been a good band to post on Valentine’s Day if I wasn’t such a cynical bastard… alas!

ha! lol. Thank you for the lovely review. this is the second time someone has called our name “ridiculous” BUT in our BALKAN world our name is somewhat odd but in the conventions of how you name a Balkan group. There are all kinds of groups like the Zagnut Orkestar, Gulag Orkestar and Orkestar Oplenac in Balkan land, so we are following in that tradition, however Orchestrii is in fact a made up word meaning “small ensemble with orchestral intent” so maybe you are right!
The two slower tunes from the self-titled record are gorgeous !! I am going to seek it out.
Great record, great band. And they’re playing at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Hastings-on-Hudson NY on March 29th. Going to be a great show
