The Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra


TRUTH IN THE DARK (recording – 2007)

Truth in the Dark was our debut record. A mix of frenetic minimalism and lush romanticism, making this disc pulled the sound of the band together and defined a lot of the textural and structural ideas that we continue to explore today.



From the record:

Driving Me Backward (brian eno)

Impostor (karl mohr)

Lost in the Stars (kurt weill)

“There are performers around the world who demolish conventional wisdom by proving there doesn’t have to be a chasm between classical and pop, that you can write and perform intelligently without resorting to sonic abstraction. Toronto’s Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra is a shining example of that approach in this twelve-track debut.”

-John Terauds, the Toronto Star
