Orgne is back in California and coming in hot withChimera, a fire-breathing spectacle of psychedelic Afro-soul. Produced by Sergio Rios (Neal Francis, Say She She),Chimerais 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.

InChimera, the heavy-hitting new LP from Orgne, out February 9th, 2024 on 3 Palm Records, 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,Chimeraconjures a state that is at once trance-like and heart-poundingly exciting.

The album opens like a heady puff of smoke in the face with Hallowed Dreams, drawing the listener into a state where reality blurs and the music takes control. The focus track, Zum Zum, is a hooky Afro-funk dance floor heater that synchronizes your heart rate to its propulsive percussion, the hypnotic rhythm building into a raucous, psychedelic climax. On the raw and rousing Tula Muisi (Dance Like Them), a tapestry of Afrobeat and heavy psych-rock bolsters the singer calls for unity and respect, which translates to Hear the music, and dance like them.

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 throughoutChimera.

From its inception, Orgne has always been a chimera a multifaceted creation and the physical manifestation of impossible quixotic dreams.Chimerawill delight fans of early Orgne while showcasing the bands effortless and endless ability to shape-shift. Its an electrifying, mesmerizing record sure to exceed expectations and keep the listener rapt.
