Biography
The roots of London, England’s Orange Can stretch to the opening months of 1999, when brothers James Aslett and Jason Aslett first pooled their efforts on an extensive catalog of new material. Fresh from a prior group, the siblings chose to lay down a full album in their own home studio and assemble the rest of the lineup afterward. Three months later they had finished Entrance High Rise, intending to revisit the recordings once a label came aboard. Regal—an independent imprint already home to the Beta Band and Boymerang in the U.K.—was sufficiently taken with the results to schedule the album for release exactly as delivered. Once the agreement was in place, the Asletts enlisted bassist Lee Catlin along with a drummer who would later give way to Rory Clarke. The resulting quartet tracked the EP The Engine House, which appeared just ahead of Entrance High Rise. Both the album and the EP drew favorable comparisons to the Stone Roses and early Pink Floyd while demonstrating atmospheric depth without affectation. Following two singles issued in 2001, the Asletts delivered their second LP, Home Burns.
