After first single Primrose, Orson Claeys returns with W.A.R., the second single of his upcoming debut EP ‘Odyssey to Self’. The new single is a tribute to his grandparents and was created in the wake of the passing of Orson’s grandfather.
W.A.R. (Where Ancestors Rest) is a tribute—a testament, if you will—to the love, wisdom, and inspiration Claes received from his grandparents. It is, in essence, an ode to his grandfather, who passed away in March 2023. His grandfather, an artist and a source of inspiration in Claes' life, lived in the beautiful village of Gargilesse-Dampierre in France, a place filled with cherished memories. His passing deeply moved Claes, sparking a desire to honor his memory alongside that of his other beloved grandparents. With this song, he hopes to keep their memories alive and honor the roots that continue to guide him.
W.A.R. (Where Ancestors Rest) is out today, listen to it now.
Orson Claeys is set to release his debut EP "Odyssey to Self" on 27 September 2024, pre-order via the Sdban Bandcamp.
