Orgōne is a pillar of West Coast soul music, maintaining an unmissable touring
presence for more than a decade. The group’s arresting intensity, impeccable
playing style, and undeniable, irresistible chemistry have earned them the
reputation as one of the tightest bands of the modern era. Fresh off of doubling as
the studio band for discodelic sensation Say She She and circling the globe as the
live band for their wildly successful world tour, Orgōne is back in California and
coming in hot with Chimera, a fire-breathing spectacle of psychedelic Afro-soul.
Chimera is an electrifying, dream-like odyssey, tripping through the hazy swamps of
New Orleans, weaving textures of entrancing voodoo soul, thrumming Afro-funk,
and stoney psych-rock.
In Chimera, the heavy-hitting new LP from Orgōne, the Los Angeles-based outfit
carves tough, gritty, infectious grooves into heady dance rhythms. Taking its name
from a mythical beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a
serpent, Chimera conjures a state that is at once trance-like and heart-poundingly
exciting. The album offers a spellbinding mix of cathartic instrumentals, dub
voyages, and soulful vocal performances by Jamie Allensworth, Terin Ector, and
Congolese musical alchemist Mermans “Mofaya” Mosengo.
Known for their gripping instrumentals and incendiary live show, the band is firing
on all cylinders and the earned confidence of this time-tested, cult-favorite crew is
on display throughout Chimera and on stages across the world.
Drawing on multicultural influences of Afrobeat, Southern soul, psych-rock, and raw
funk, Chimera bridges the darkest reaches of psychedelia to the highest peaks of
joyful dance music. With easy SoCal swagger, deep New Orleans roots, and a
profound reverence for the sounds of the African diaspora, Orgōne creates a
unique, transporting experience that feels untethered to any single place or time.

ORGONE
Funk
Orgone (Orgōne). Noun. 1. A universal life force. 2. A cosmic unit of energy. 3. The creative
force in nature.
Now and always, Orgone delivers dirty, organic, California soul with heart; music that grabs you
by the collar, pulls you to your feel and shoves you wantingly onto the dance floor. It all started
with two kids from the San Fernando Valley, whose shared affinity for gritty soul records of the
60s and 70s collided with the colorful music cultures brewing in Los Angeles during the late 90s.
That friendship sparked a movement, and Orgone has been delivering nothing but gold to the
funk faithful ever since.
“We intend our music to have an inhibitioncanceling
effect,” founding guitarist Sergio Rios explains. “It speaks to those who may have wallflower tendencies encouraging
everyone to own the freakiness that lives inside them, and enjoy the spotlight for a little while. Sometimes it takes a nudge to let go and get on the dance floor. And sometimes it takes a big 'ol push... a
love shove, if you will. And we're well versed in those."
Fearless vocalist Adryon de León elevates the octet’s soulfulness to intoxicating new levels on Orgone's latest studio album, Beyond The Sun. Dubbed "stank face inducing glory" by Okayplayer, the record is a lightning rod of inspiration for a new generation of funk music lovers. Following the standalone
release of “Do What You Came To Do”, Orgone plans to drip steamy
new singles one-by-one
into the world throughout the summer of 2016.
