Dark Orange is an Ethereal wave band from Hamburg, Germany and is probably best known for their gothic rendition of Paul Simon's "Sounds of Silence".
Dark Orange's last release with Hyperium records "The Sea Is My Soul", taken from their album "The Garden of Poseidon", was released under the alias 24 Hours and drastically remixed by Mark Tibenham of And Also the Trees.
The band went relatively unknown to American audiences, until 1998 when Cleopatra Records released "The Sea Is My Soul" (as 24 Hours) on the compilation "Heavenly Voices".
Dark Orange announced a reunion in 2008. In 2009 a single followed and the band announced that a new album would be released in May, 2010 on the Kalinkaland label, with sound produced by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins.
Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or orange:
“A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“the great orange bed where we lie
like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
