Singer/songwriter Beth Orton combined the passionate beaut of the acoustic kinsfolk tradition with the electronic beat generation of trip-hop to make a novel, distinct optical fusion of roots and rhythm. Born in Norwich, England in December 1970, Orton debuted as one half of the duet Spill, a one-off picture with William Orbit which released a cover of John Martyn's "Don't Wanna Know About Evil." She continued on the job with Orbit on his 1993 LP Foreign Cargo 3, co-writing and singing the racecourse "Water From a Vine Leaf" earlier appearing with the mathematical group Red Snapper on their get-go singles "Common snapping turtle" and "In Deep." In 1995 Orton teamed with the Chemical Brothers for "Alive: Alone," the ultimate racecourse on their Exit Planet Dust LP. After collection a financial backing lot comprised of double bassist Ali Friend, guitarist Ted Barnes, keyboardist Lee Spencer and drummer Wildcat Will, she last issued her 1996 debut EP She Cries Your Name; her stunning full-length bow Trailer Park, produced in part by Andrew Weatherall, followed later in the twelvemonth. In 1997, Orton released the brilliant C. H. Best Bit EP, a move towards a more than organic, soulful well-grounded highlighted by a couple of duets with folk-jazz caption Terry Callier; the full-length Primal Reservation followed in 1999. "Stolen Car" was a check strike among college radio set and tours crossways the U.S. were as well successful. Three days later, Orton emerged fresh with her third album Daybreaker. This time around, she collaborated with ex-Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams and the Chemical Brothers. In former 2006, Orton released her fourth record album, Consolation of Strangers. The 14-song set was recorded in two weeks with producer Jim O'Rourke.
