Orebolo Details Debut Studio Album ‘The Chateau’ & Shares Lead Single

Goose acoustic offshoot Orebolo announced their debut studio album, The Chateau (pre-order vinyl), arriving on June 7 via No Coincidence Records. The LP is previewed with a studio version of live favorite, “Rockdale.”

Orebolo — guitarist Rick Mitarotonda, guitarist Peter Anspach and bassist Jeff Arevalo — captured the album at Mitarotonda’s new studio dubbed The Chateau. Frequent collaborator D. James Goodwin (Bob Weir, The Hold Steady, Bonny Light Horsemen) produced the trio’s premiere studio LP. Goodwin helmed Goose’s 2022 record, Dripfield.

Some of the songs on The Chateau are familiar from the trio’s performances as well as the Goose catalog including opener “Rosewood Heart,” along with “Turned Clouds,” “Tumble” and “Dripfield.” Some appear to be new songs (see tracklist below). There’s also a cover of Tom Waits’ “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis,” which Orebolo has performed live, to close the record.

Press materials detailed lead The Chateau single, “Rockdale.”

“This single version of “Rockdale” brings a fresh, studio-polished sound to the beloved track, highlighting Orebolo’s unique ability to transform familiar tunes into awe-inspiring, laid-back renditions.”

Listen to “Rockdale” below:

Orebolo are fresh on the heels of a sold-out run at Port Chester, New York’s famed Capitol Theatre. Earlier this year, the trio delivered a performance at the Dead Ahead destination event in Mexico boasting sit-ins from Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson.
