Her sophomore album ‘Asphodel,’ also produced by Davis, was released in 2023 on Sempervirens Studios.
---------------- Oropendola is the project of Brooklyn-based singer, composer, and keyboardist Joanna Schubert. Her songs draw from keys-based art-pop and indie-folk traditions, moving between the whimsical and the intimate, blending playful dissonance and lyrical storytelling. Oropendola’s 2023 kaleidoscopic chamber pop debut Waiting for the Sky to Speak was described as “at the meeting point between arms in the air pop perfection and something altogether more jarring and intriguing.” Swimming, her sophomore record out June 27th, is an intimate piano-vocal collection adorned in minimal, idiosyncratic arrangements. Harkening to inspirations such as Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, and The Roches, the album captures Schubert’s penchant and reverence for unfettered live performance.
