Orba Squara

Orba Squara is the musical alter ego of Mitch Davis, an independent New York-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. Orba Squara’s sophomore set, The Trouble with Flying, is a mesmerizing collection of homemade art-pop gems out October 27. Davis made Flying predominately on his own in his New York studio, though he did receive help on two tracks (including the sitar-smeared title track) from an unlikely idol: Billy Squier, whom Davis calls his favorite recording artist of all time. Check out Orbasquara.com which documents the bands’ 10-day cross-country adventure from NYC to Portland, OR with the new album as the soundtrack. Orba Squara’s 2007 debut, sunshyness, included the track “Perfect Timing (This Morning)” used in the TV campaign for the iPhone. (See it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrcsQvZz06g.)
