These songs speak directly to the listener with an intensity, and enthusiasm, that almost lifts you up by the boot straps. They are alive to their potential to motivate and inspire. It’s a lot, maybe too much for some tastes, but it’s a giddy ride.Īs a fifth wave emo band, Origami Angel attempt to do more than simply wallow. They blitz through 20 tracks in 50 minutes, incorporating Bosa Nova, Screamo, trap, soft-rock, metal, power-pop and folk into their felt tip pen lined, dopamine injected pop-punk sound. The duo, Pat Doherty and Ryland Heagy, play like they’re having the time of their lives even when the lyrics suggest that they’re not. Origami Angel sound determined to power slide through the malaise. Many of my favourite albums thus far – Nick Cave, Indigo Sparke, Wild Pink, Cassandra Jenkins – have been thoughtful and restrained in equal measure, perhaps reflecting a wider feeling in the real world. Setlist information provided by setlist.fm.2021 has not been the liveliest year for new music. If you are a fan of Origami Angel and have the time, this would be a great show to go to see. Tickets can be purchased through the etix website.

I am thrilled to have the chance to see the show. Everything I have heard from the band is super fun and I am excited to hear it live. They have one album, “i’m so glad i feel this way about you” from 2019 which will make up the entirety of their setlist. Insignificant other is an indie band that I started listening to in preparation for this concert. They will be playing songs mostly from their new album, but will also play “Erso” and “$5 Subtweet” from their first album. I found out about math-influenced emo band Pool Kids earlier this year through their album “Music to Practice Safe Sex To” and loved their new self-titled release which came out in July. Nonetheless, I am extremely excited for the show, it seems like Origami Angel has put together an excellent setlist which is a wonderful representation of their discography. The encore will consist of “Noah Fence” and “Find Your Throne”. They can be expected to start the show by playing Sweden by C418 before moving into their set. “re: turn” is heartfelt and acoustic, and “ DEPART” is a screamo EP.įans can also expect songs from their older releases, of course including songs from “Somewhere City”. However, they released two EPs right before their tour with polar opposite sounds which will also be performed. Origami Angel’s focus on this tour is their 2021 album, “GAMI GANG”. Origami Angel puts a fun twist on the genres they are rooted in, using a sound that is typically very angsty to create mostly very hopeful music.

Rooted in the sounds of emo and pop-punk, Origami Angel has been releasing music since 2017. To sweeten the pot, Pool Kids and insignificant other are starting the show. When I saw they were coming to Greensboro for only $18, I couldn’t turn down the tickets. They have a great sound and put an excellent twist on a genre I already love a lot. I have been a fan of Origami Angel since the release of “Somewhere City” in 2019. They are visiting Blind Tiger in Greensboro on November 15, 2022. Origami Angel, the D.C.-based emo/pop-punk duo, is touring all across the United States after the release of their album “GAMI GANG” in 2021 and two new EPs, “re: turn” and “DEPART” right before their tour.
