Club Oro

Club Oro

Los Angeles’ CLUB ORO began their venture on borrowed time — after hours at an indie recording studio where three of its members held internships, in a makeshift setup in mom’s garage, creating mostly between work shifts when their near-opposite schedules aligned. Eventually the quartet found a home base in the weird little equestrian neighborhood of Glendale, where they would write and record music in their living room for a year and a half, releasing precious little in the way of music while they built a local following throwing house shows and posting a unique “improv” series to Instagram. CLUB ORO doesn’t yield from a specific lineage or owe its sound to any one genre — one minute they might meld a slowed-down hip-hop beat to a slew of phased out guitars and glittery synths, and in the same breath elicit a sighing alt-R&B slow jam about working midnights at a cash register.
