Aquarium Drunkard - Los Angeles Based Music Journal [Unofficial]
June 25, 2026
Beth Orton's The Ground Above is a free-flowing mixture of electronic funk, spirit walking jazz, and ambient folk. Only Orton can make music as affecting as this, showing off an an ear for the haunted and the heavy. Songwriting for Orton has always mirrored a sort of lucid dreaming—a therapeutic space where she can will herself to fly, but cannot control her monsters underground and the spirit to rise above them.
