Many rumors exist about the origins of Björ6n Oranj. For purposes of this
bio, we will attempt to keep it factual. First of all, the 6 is silent. He
is a creator of sound, assemblage, collaboration, words, thoughts, mayhem,
dismay, philosophy and so much more. His location is hard to pin down. He
is somewhere. His spelling is suspect.
Defining his music is like describing the plot of The Bridge on the River
Kwai to a cabal of cats. Partially, it is a reflection on not participating
in current events while also definitely paying close attention to current
events. It is experimental music born from mediocre spite, dungeon related
clerical issues, great ideas gone terribly wrong, slogans for T-shirts, a
need for the immediate death to idolized beauty and the heat of his
eyeballs. It is the sound of the natural burnout of a relationship drafted
by drunk cartographers dressed as cowboys. It is unapologetic and distilled
by sirens. It is to be enjoyed at brunches with strangers as well as family
functions involving crowd control water sprays.
Björ6n is a founding member of the bands Squid1969, Squinting Matador, The
Halcyon Brothers, and This Isn’t Just a Cult. Also, he creates the podcast
This Isn't Just a Cult: A Work of Real Fiction.
