Orindal Records

An established devotee of dark weirdness, Greg Jamie brings forth his second solo album on Orindal: 𝘼𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙖 𝙑𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 (out October 10, 2025). Across ten new songs recorded with his longtime collaborator Colby Nathan, Jamie journeys to the strange, enchanted center of his personal vision. This is a space between sleeping and waking, where Jamie’s woodsy, weary voice guides us forward.

It’s no surprise that the latest from the Maine-based musician and visual artist aims to haunt, but this experimental folk pop does it in a way that’s more playful than funereal. It lays a shimmering floor over the abyss.

The strength of 𝘼𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙖 𝙑𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 is its intuitive rawness. It’s art made at home; the product of a deep inner life and a personal mythology. And like Greg Jamie’s uncanny watercolor paintings, this record juxtaposes muted, dark backgrounds with shocks of vibrant color. The “violet pasture” of the title evokes a mix of passionate red and cool, sorrowful blue. The resulting purple is mystical and a little extravagant. It’s a color hardly found in nature. And when it is, like the violet flower, it survives only in dappled forest shade. Admired by hermits, fauns, and idealistic weirdos, there’s a secretive, melancholy, and ephemeral beauty to this work.

"I'd Get Away", the first single from 𝘼𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙖 𝙑𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, is streaming everywhere. Listen now through the link in our bio!

Greg Jamie on "I'd Get Away":
"I’d Get Away is the first song on the album. Making this song felt like a breakthrough for the whole record for me, sonically. It's sort of a surf ballad about letting go of what you can’t change, and moving on from what is final. Transcendence and fog. Clarity after death. Blow up nostalgia and just be. Check out that slide and drift away."
