oreglo - Not Real People (2024)

oreglo announce their debut EP Not Real People on Brownswood Recordings, set for release on 5 July. They’ve also shared the latest single from the EP, ‘peck’.

oreglo is made up of c-sé (keys), Linus Barry (guitar), Nico Rocco (drums) and Teigan Hastings (tuba), who all met growing up in London. Nico and Linus met at secondary school, before Nico went on to meet Teigan and c-sé through the youth organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors, bringing them all together.

Across the Not Real People EP, oreglo showcase their innovative take on multiple genres: freewheeling through heavy rock riffs to drill-inspired percussion and breezy reggae, the quartet have cultivated a unique sound that acts as a melting pot of all the sounds they know and love from London.

This eclectic approach is perhaps displayed best on new single ‘peck’, a sprawling seven minute odyssey. “‘peck’ is about the feeling of being pecked on the cheek by a crush. on the outside you’re trying to play it cool but on the inside your feelings are exploding,” the band explain.

Not Real People also features the previously released singles ‘levels’ and ‘J.A.C.K.’, and four new tracks including ‘comet’ featuring breakthrough London-based singer-songwriter Bel Cobain. oreglo share: “Not Real People is a reflection of our growth from adolescence into adulthood living in London. Our feelings of alienation, identity and love. Sonically this EP represents our exposure and interests in all genres.”

Since officially forming just over a year ago, they've already been hand-selected by Ezra Collective to win the 2023 Lambeth Sounds Emerging Artists x Cross The Tracks competition; played the recent Steam Down–curated World Island event in Leeds; supported Gabriels at Somerset House; composed for The 1975's North American tour; and have seen support from Steve Lamacq, Jack Saunders + more across national radio.
