It might be from a different stratosphere to the one that propelled Mitch Davis to soundtracker of consumer good extraordinaire but the 'The Trouble With Flying' is no less enticing. It is taken from his album of the same name and proved that Orba Squara was more than capable of retaining his sense of perfect timing. And the good times just keep rolling because as recently as last Christmas Davis scored a number one on iTunes for his, not straying too far from the traditional seasonal template, 'What I Want For Xmas'. A really admirable talent. KD [...]

It's hard to tell if the object of Orba Squara 's The Trouble with Flying is real or imaginary; abiding or long gone. These whimsical songs of love and longing will find a way into your head and television commercials. Davis unbridles his twee vocals on "Tell Me" to exhilarating ends.

It's pretty incredible to think that the holiday season is here. It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2009, a year, which as we eventually discovered, would be beyond our wildest imaginations. From the scorching musical brilliance of Bonnaroo to the incredible weekend that was Lollapalooza ; from our interviews with Tom Jones , Slayer , Passion Pit , Pavement , Ben Kweller , and Ms. Consequence of Sound herself, Regina Spektor , to debates over the metal heads , 311 , and Albums [...]

I'll admit that I don't actively seek out cover songs, so this award may be completely unwarranted for all I know, but this cover of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" by Orba Squara wins the best "Cover of the Year" in my book. It's amazing. Your Yellow Dress' cover of MIA's "Paper Planes" comes in a very close second.

Check out their very nifty website for the story behind the trip. Here's the mp3 for the song. If you listen to it, and find yourself thinking, "is that Billy Squier on guitar?", then congratulate your freakish, 80's-centric hearing, for the answer is yes.

When I first listened to Orba Squara's upcoming album called The Trouble With Flying, I wasn't expecting anything. I knew nothing about the "band" or their talent level, but by the time I finished listening, not only was I pleasantly surprised to find that it was all just one man, Mitch Davis (who plays every instrument on every track), I found myself in love with the album itself. I hesitate to

Here's a delightfully synchronized video for Orba Squara 's title track from their new album, The Trouble with Flying, featuring guest vocals from Billy Squier . A cross country photographic journey, it's woven from thousands of photos taken on their bus tour from NYC to Portland. On a side note, I love how the video has this jerky, not-quite buffered feel to it. It's very "now", in my opinion. To purchase (and stream) the new album, click here . And afterwards you absolutely must visit their adorable website . [...]
