Joanna Schubert 鈥�12, known as Oropendola, recently released a debut full-length album, 鈥�,鈥� with Spirit House Records and Wilbur & Moore Records. Oropendola鈥檚 kaleidoscopic chamber pop music blends the orchestral sounds of clarinet, flugelhorn, harp, and strings with synths, drums and bass, piano, and vocal manipulations. Thirty musicians and vocalists contributed to the solo artist鈥檚 album. Recorded by co-producer Zubin Hensler during the COVID-19 pandemic, the album is a celebration of choosing life even in the face of its ephemerality. 

鈥淭his is my first album of this scale, and the relentless exploration and maximalism felt important to me,鈥� Schubert says. 鈥淎nd, in such an isolating time, to eventually have so many people involved was a gift.鈥�
