Orynth Savorne channels exile into a raw, gloomy, unapologetic rock manifestation — the kind of sound built on fumes, ache, and whatever’s left in the bottle.

His debut isn’t here to compete; it’s here to decay — a release destined to rot beautifully in the digital graveyard of the 21st century.

The themes are apocalyptic and fractured:
ruined streets, stray animals, lowlifes, derelict lovers, collapsing faith, and everything that crawls through the cracks when the world stops pretending.

It isn’t hopeful.
It isn’t desperate.
It’s simply honest.

A hell of a time — for those who can stand to stay.

Loiter and linger… Lick at wounds…

Blush or burn… Become a better you.

Songwriting and storytelling lie at the core of Brisbane-based alternative folk group, Elbury.  Born in a brick-and-concrete pillbox on the side of Red Hill, as an acoustic folk duo.  Awkward tunes in minor keys; awkward lyrics, obscure themes – the standard output of any new band trying to mark out a piece of original territory.  Through the churn of the low-profile/no-profile original music scene, Elbury persisted – knowing that a band can find their own sound and beat a path forward on their own terms.  

With the introduction of bass, drums and synth in recent years, the band have shifted from traditional acoustic folk to a darker alt-folk-rock sound, including progressive and ambient elements.  But the music, at heart, remains the same:  honest observations, translated into verse, and multiple musical elements jostled into occasional cooperation.  The band defy easy categorisation, shifting between mellow jazz interludes, rollicking folk-rock triumphs and intricate Baroque passages.  Winsome melodies take centre stage, with three-part harmonies and a close weave of organic and digital textures wrapped around.  Without the power and bombast of harder styles of music, the beauty of the phrase and the arrangement becomes make-or-break.

In concert, Elbury’s music is energetic, constantly surprising and always engaging.  Songs (and sets) that lead the listener through moods, through lightness and darkness, through lush warmth and brittle emptiness.  Deceptive complexity that rewards close attention.  And even the odd danceable number!

The Wretched Creatures is a loud and heavy stoner rock trio from Brisbane, Australia. An organic riff-machine capable of producing a fuzzy mixture of thick sludge, catchy stoner hooks and lysergic soaked stoner doom!
