Biography
Organical makes music that falls into the shadows between genres. Among the many artists that Organical draws inspiration from are Coil, Radiohead, Black Sabbath, Calexico, Foetus, Young Gods and Girls Against Boys. Organical builds beautifully desolate tales of machines and monsters.
Organical originated in 1998 by singer/guitarist Steve Jelliman after his departure from Industrial Metal pioneers Malhavoc, a band Steve spent several years with, recording 4 CD’s and touring throughout North America. At first conceived as a studio project, Organical evolved into a five piece band in order to perform live material from the Organical debut CD “Psyche Self-Defense.”
After a few years of honing their sound through extensive rehearsing and live performances, Organical returned to the studio in 2004 to record a follow-up CD “The Elementals.”
In 2006 Organical stripped down to a four piece band, debuting a new rhythm section and releasing “comfortchurch”, an EP that that explored a scaled down sound focused on real instrumentation in actual spaces. The EP was recorded in the band’s rehearsal studio with minimal overdubs.
The band’s most recent effort is an EP “corpses”, an excavation of the band’s metal roots and an exploration of new musical direction . Recently the band has welcomed a new full-time drummer, John Lalley, formerly a member of Bootsauce and Groovy Religion.
Currently the band is working on their 3rd full length CD, "We've Lost Contact With Monster Island" due early 2010.
Organical continues to dissect and reconstruct new aural spaces, break boundaries and create music that is indefinable yet familiar.
