Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles have released their latest single, “The Zodiac,” and it’s a journey into the alluring world of a 1950s underground beatnik jazz club, as inspired by the timeless film “Bell, Book, and Candle.”
Crafted through a collaborative effort between lead singer Adrianne and keyboardist Matt Blanks, “The Zodiac” immerses listeners in a spellbinding fusion of swing, pop, jazz, and hints of psychedelic rock and soul. Adrianne’s mesmerizing vocals, accompanied by Matt’s dynamic keys, Dillon Young’s expressive guitar, and Elias Grimsley’s precise drums, promise an unforgettable musical experience.
The inspiration drawn from Jacques Demy’s vibrant aesthetics and the nostalgic charm of the 1960s adds depth to the song’s sonic tapestry, reminiscent of the lush orchestrations of a Bond film intertwined with the gritty rhythms of vintage surf rock. Influences ranging from The Zombies and The Beatles to Serge Gainsbourg contribute to the band’s unique sound.
With a penchant for storytelling and theatricality, Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles have captivated audiences with their performances, drawing inspiration from themes such as witchcraft, deep sea monsters, and urban mystery.
Adrianne’s background in opera, coupled with her talent as a vocalist and songwriter, shines through in “The Zodiac,” following the success of her debut single, “Words Are Spells.”
Recorded at The Eagle Room in Weaverville, NC, and produced by Matt Williams, “The Zodiac” is now available on all major digital platforms.
This release marks a significant milestone in the band’s growing career, and promises to enchant audiences with its captivating blend of genres and storytelling.
