Happy Valley, Santa Cruz, CA 2020-2021
lyrics
Go round, you made our color blue
My love, just up in the hills
Go round, hoping rain will come
Down, help our grass to grow
Yellin' at you, Happy Valley
'Cause it's been so long I've been with you
How can I get still closer to you
Another child still closer to you
Go round, I think I'm breaking through
Beside you, drop into a pool
Go round, ever changing world
I've come to pass to gray with you
California baby, still lookin' for something
Still look to surprise you, the lock that is melting
So much of you lately, as we make mistakes that
we take too far
Yellin' at you, Happy Valley
'Cause it's been so long we've been together
How can I get still closer to you
Another child still closer to you
When I first let you down, I felt a new shame
But you paint this checker down, invited this space
Go round, I think I'm breaking through
Beside you, drop into a pool
Go round, ever changing world
I've come to pass to gray with you

Dynamic grooves, wonky-infectious hooks, left field details and textures, and unexpected twists and turns make this album engaging from front to back. Also Zula are a killer live band. Matthew Bernstein
Chamber pop with lyrics that are alternately wry and confessional, Oropendola creates whole worlds built on purposeful keyboard melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
