After months of waiting, the vowels they orbit have finally released its highly-anticipated EP 'and unang ikot.'
The 5-track record showcases the band's expounding on the complexities of young love from the perspective of someone who has gone through several missteps and recoveries in life. The Filipino pop-rock band released the EP via its distribution label Sony Music Philippines.
On a thematic standpoint, the lyrics shine a light on certain issues that people tend to avoid in regular conversations: the melancholic “Pasa” recalls a harrowing story of abuse; the light-hearted ditty “Selos” struggles to conceal jealousy no matter how hard the person tries; and then there’s “Kiliti,” a song about finding that perfect someone in an imperfect situation. Overall, 'ang unang ikot' offers home to fragile beings caught in the throes of love, hoping that they’ll learn from their previous mistakes and come out as better individuals after.
Prior to the album, the debut single 'selos' made it big on the hit charts. It peaked at No. 2 on Spotify Philippines' Viral 50 charts and No. 1 on Love Radio 90.7 Top 10.
TVTO said, “all tracks were written in the context of love, but like every other song out there, they all go beyond the intention.”
Bassist Patch Javier adds, “the latest EP tackles what most relationship journeys look like during [their] firsts.”
ang unang ikot, is written, arranged and performed by the vowels they orbit, except for “Selos,” which was penned by Darwin Hernandez—the hitmaker behind chart-topping singles “Torete” and “Sandalan.” The album is produced by Rye Sarmiento, the guitarist of 6cyclemind and Banda Ni Kleggy.
the vowels they orbit’s debut EP, 'ang unang ikot,' is now available on all digital platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines.
the vowels they orbit is a 5-person pop-rock band from Manila, Philippines. The quintet is also managed by Soupstar Music—the home to several established and promising music acts such as 6cyclemind, Teeth, Imago, Sandwich, Pedicab, Moonstar88, Ultra Combo, Gracenote, Banda ni Kleggy, Better Days, the vowels they orbit, and Kurei. The band comprises of Nikka Melchor (Vocals), Jeremy Sayas (Drums), Hannah Dela Cruz (Keyboard), Gene Santiago (Guitars) and Patch Javier (Bass).
