The Orielles

About

The Orielles are a British indie-rock trio from Halifax, formed by sisters Esmé and Sidonie Hand-Halford alongside guitarist Henry Carlyle Wade. Their 2018 debut 'Silver Dollar Moment' established them as one of the UK's more distinctive indie acts, and they have since moved through funk, sound-art experimentation and back again. Their fourth album 'Only You Left' (March 2026), recorded on the Greek island of Hydra and in Hamburg, has been widely praised for balancing the song-led instincts of their debut with the bold experimentation of their later work.
