Ortolan Three I-love-a-man-in-a-uniform-but- that's-neither-here-nor-there reasons to check out Panchos tonight... 1. New Jersey pop group Ortolan certainly likes to keep it all in the family. The band consists of three sisters and one sister-in-law who trade easy breezy pop harmonies in the vein of 50s girl groups. In more modern terms, the lovely ladies that comprise Ortolan carry themselves in a Regina Spektor meets Eisley and Tegan & Sara kind of way. Anyway you describe it, the music these – probably too young to [...]

I just watched World's Greatest Dad a couple nights ago. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. It's a twisted, dark comedy about a father who loses his son to a freak accident and decides to ghostwrite a ransom note to avoid embarrassment. There's a scene in the movie with a shortened [...]
wenden wir uns ortolan zu, wenden wir uns auch sounds familyre records zu. die beiden gehen hand in hand. denn, wer den label namen hört, weiß, dass hier nichts schlechtes kommen kann. im katalog befinden sich zur beweisführung u.a. sufjan stevens, woven hand, danielson, half-handed cloud... was liegt nun vor uns, was liegt an? bei ortolan handelt es sich, ein novum wieder einmal, um vier schwestern, im alter von ca. 17 bis 23 jahren. die mädels wurden früh mit musik infiziert und was einst als als eine schnapsidee der 13jährigen stephanie cottingham begann, wurde alsbald eine [...]

An ortolan is a tiny bird that can sing a sweet tune, and it makes a fitting namesake for this band comprised of three sisters and one sister-in-law from South Jersey. Ranging in age from 16 to 23, the members of Ortolan produce a lovely feminine sound woven into charming and strangely familiar melodies. The quartet's debut [...]

Last week I rather inexplicably received the following email from a young lady called Erica. It's about the French culture of eating a rather tiny songbird called an ortolan, and was sent to me with no introduction, no preamble, no how's-yer-father, not a thing. The only (tenuous) connection I can imagine is that the practise of scoffing lickle birdies was mentioned briefly in a comments thread months ago, but that's about it. And yet the whole thing was too bizarre and too fantastically silly to simply delete. So, erm, here you have it, readers of Toad, enjoy: [...]
