Our Take

Prepare to be transported to the misty mountains of the Pacific Northwest with Oregon's "Best of the Vanguard" album.

If you've never heard of Oregon, don't worry, you're not alone. This eclectic group has flown under the radar for years, blending elements of jazz, folk, and world music into a seamless sonic tapestry that is as enchanting as it is hypnotic.

From the haunting flute melodies of "Celeste" to the pulsating percussion of "Requiem," Oregon takes listeners on a journey through time and space, evoking images of cascading waterfalls and towering redwoods.

The dynamic interplay between the band members is truly a sight to behold, with Ralph Towner's virtuosic guitar work weaving effortlessly through Paul McCandless' soulful woodwinds.

Tracks like "Witchi Tai To" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend traditional folk melodies with avant-garde jazz improvisation, creating a unique sound that is equal parts soothing and exhilarating.

So if you're in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary, give Oregon's "Best of the Vanguard" a spin. Who knows, you might just find yourself booking a one-way ticket to the wild and untamed landscapes that inspired this captivating music.

About the artist

Oregon

OREGON, the enigmatic musical maverick hailing from the streets of Portland, is not your typical artist. With a sound that blends elements of folk, electronica, and hip-hop, OREGON has carved out a niche all of their own in the music industry. One would think that such a unique sound would come from a seasoned veteran of the industry. But no, OREGON burst onto the scene just a few short years ago, captivating audiences with their haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Drawing inspiration from the rain-soaked landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, OREGON's music is a sonic journey through the depths of their imagination. From introspective ballads to high-energy bangers, OREGON's versatility knows no bounds. But what truly sets OREGON apart from their peers is their fearless approach to tackling social issues in their music. Whether they are addressing climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, or racial inequality, OREGON's lyrics are always thought-provoking and unapologetically honest. In a landscape of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured personas, OREGON is a breath of fresh air. With a DIY ethos and a passion for pushing boundaries, OREGON is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So if you're looking for an artist who isn't afraid to speak their mind and challenge the status quo, look no further than OREGON. They may be quirky, they may be unconventional, but one thing's for sure – OREGON is a true original.
