Orso

oRSo is a US-based band formed in 1996 and led by Phil Spirito of Rex, HiM (US), Loftus featuring Brian Deck and Ben Massarella of Red Red Meat and Califone. The musical style is self-described as "carny rock, chamber folk or just orchestrated weirdness"; their songs, which feature prominent banjo parts, also feature experimental sounds such as those made by typewriters and toilets. The band releases on Perishable Records.
