Background notes

Archive material and source history

Orphan Project started in New York City around 2007, built around Aaron Jay's songwriting. Their first EP came out in 2010, but it was the 2011 album 'The Grandest Illusion' that got more attention, especially the song 'Angels Desire.'

Jay's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles, which gave their music a raw feel. The band's lineup included Daniel Schlandt on guitar, Michael Giardina on bass, and Matthew White on drums. They kept putting out albums like 'The World Inside' in 2014 and 'Ghosts of the Past' in 2017.

Songs like 'Chosen' and 'Empty Me' show their style, melodic but introspective, with themes that connected with listeners who recognized those feelings. They released 'The Light Within' in 2020, continuing in that vein without much fanfare.
