About the music:

‘Orphans’ is a track for the post-truth, extremely online age. The deft lyrics expose the false promise of the streaming economy, and the exploitation of art for commercial profit.

This is a track that diagnoses the alienation of a generation who live their lives under opt-in surveillance - a state-of-the-nation address from three of Scotland’s most fiercely independent artists.

The original mix, written and arranged by Becci Wallace with additional production from Lauren Gilmour & Audrey Tait (Franz Ferdinand/Novasound) unfurls in a gathering storm of soft guitars and dusted beats, anchored by Becci’s soaring voice and bittersweet hooks.

The track has a layered added nuance from the trombone of Edinburgh Jazz head Chris Greive. Chris is known for features, performances and production alongside a host of growing names like Joseph Malik, Rebecca Vasmant and The Scottish Jazz Orchestra.

The remix by Scott Bathgate offers a more jazzy, traditional hip-hop framework for the complex, densely-layered lyrical exchanges of Texture and Conscious Route. Each mix offers a different side of a track that twins raw poetics with incisive social commentary.

Texture recommends:

DREAMLESS L.P
by WAV Machine

Breathtaking electronica. As deep as it is huge, this album soars and dives through cold realms as icebergs of bass glide by, while synths echo and loop in the sky like northern lights. Top echelon. Texture

Why It Bothers Me I Can't Sleep
by King Meraki

A chilling and highly personal record from Kid Robotik, announcing his alter ego KING MERAKI while facing down death, addiction, betrayal and transcendence. Absolutely savage. Texture
