TIME ON A STRING OUT NOW!
"Music like this is rare. It addresses us kindly, directly, without pretense or irony. It is not cool or hip or self-contained. It is unabashedly vulnerable, open to encounter. It's not often anymore that you hear the music of young people. Not just young people, but anyone who is still engaged in becoming who they are. Ortolan includes us in the family, encouraging us to grow along with them..." -Dan Zimmerman
We're VERY excited to let you know about the debut full-length from our favorite wonder-quartet from South Jersey, Ortolan!
Take a listen to the fantastic single, "Sticky Situation", and then click on the album cover below to order your copy.
ORTOLAN VIDEO!
Our dear friend Marc Brodzik of Woodshop Films, spent an afternoon with Ortolan baking cookies. The result was this incredibly charming video. See below:

If you would like to join our street teams and help spread the word, just click on the image below to download and print. Post as many posters as your city will allow--and then some! The artwork (by Ben) is already formatted to fit on 8.5" x 11" paper, so you should be good to print right out of the gate.
Spread the news, everyone! Bring a friend! Bring three!
We'll see you all very soon!
