Oropendola spreads their wings on debut track “Stillness”

In its name, in its lyrics, and in its music, Oropendola is very intentional. The brainchild of Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter, and musician Joanna Schubert, the project is named after a bird native to Central and South America whose moniker translates roughly to “golden pendulum.” On “Stillness,” the debut release from Oropendola, Schubert builds upon this idea of a pendulum as the track swings back and forth between different ideas and influences. The track is soft yet powerful, a beautiful song perfect for winter listening, a track to guide you through snowstorms, a song for spine-chilling nights.
