As a sound engineer, the samples these people use make me happy.

Wow, do you really need to reply to this person like that? They just are showing appreciation for the music.

[@DendyJungle]

Orono is such a boss. Doesn't need to feel like one when you are one already

She seems like an insecure jerk.

[@01dirtydirk]

She isss soooo coool

[@OldClam5]

This is possibly one of the most toxic comment section I've ever read under such an innocent interview.

[@chriswinston1223]

You're quite tender. This is the music for you then.

[@TaylorTZA]

Why is the comments section so toxic holy I absolutely love superorganism's sound

[@impressionistslandscape]

Queen Elizabeth III, damn, no need to be so positive

[@Chloe-xn7to]

damn queen Elizabeth when did you get so bitchy

[@OldClam5]

Yeah, I have no idea what is up with this comment section. Just about every comment thread has some sort of incredibly negative person chime in for little to no reason.

[@IHMadeThis]

I don't want to be famous. I just want enough money to comfortably get away from large groups of humans.

[@gohan7104]

me irl

[@TrichomeTerror]

I want everyone to know who I am as an individual

[@TrichomeTerror]

That would eliminate the need for an introduction so that makes life go by faster so I can die already

[@mnrradioshow5566]

Funny... And great counterpoint! Now take your "I don't want to be famous" rationale, find that simple chord progression, turn it into a tune and inadvertently become famous anyway. Still, like your comment!

[@noname-fu4sj]

well we have to become famous in order to earn that much money lol

[@bubblebubbleblip]

imagine constantly waiting for your room mate to fall asleep or take a dump so you could record music that will later be featured on vice.

[@shardanette1]

These kids are adorable. Their music's not bad, either.

[@mrhorse513]

It's shite.

[@shardanette1]

No, but your comment is.

[@finnmcjeff4877]

MR HORSE then why are you watching this

[@OldClam5]

Yo, no need to be so toxic

[@qwertyasdf4081]

shardanette1 2 years late, but the girl isn’t a child. She just looks young but she’s actually 18 (or maybe 19 by now)

[@blackness010]

Love that band. Reading the comments I guess vice viewer isn't their audience xD

[@DendyJungle]

blackness010 vice is famous for having very Conservative commenters for some reason

[@edwinyu599]

That Orono "wow" at the end is everything.

Funny how whiney a large majority of Vice viewers are over a bit of new different music 😂

[@oddly8363]

soul is cool asf

[@AmeliaPond1994]

Oddly agreed

[@tiffanylai1995711]

just a thought, they were internet friends then the others invite her to sing but she never wanted to. She dont really like their music and the others but the song just got famous and she couldnt escape from the interviews. (the bassist is an exception)

[@tiffanylai1995711]

Or maybe she’s just try

[@tiffanylai1995711]

Shy

[@parocks]

I think you're probably guessing wrong. There was or is a band called The Eversons, a band from New Zealand, they played a show in Japan, where Orono was visiting her parents or over the summer, I don't know, and Orono went to the show and they became friends, and Orono went back to Bangor where she was going to an international boarding school. And she was recording when she was a Senior at John Babst Memorial High School.

[@tiffanylai1995711]

yeah i double check, i think she really like the band, they became friends, and the band invite her to sing for their new project. Orono liked their band music but dont really like this pop style of their new project (just guessing) i checked out her soundcloud i think she's more into indie rock then this pop shit

[@Morbhyd]

Soul is outragously South Korean

[@pearseed]

n outragously weirdly ugly

[@nan_ryam3079]

Neo Chen don't be mean. He seems perfectly nice

[@샐러맨더-w1z]

Orono is so cute.

[@강병찬학부생-공업디]

Really love the fact that very left is dressed black and put hands together and very right is dressed casual and twist legs. And orno in middle is dressed black and casual, twist legs and put hands together. Heehee

[@Margotxmargot]

they seem like real weirdos i love it so much

[@atrijitdas1704]

Orono is sincere in her ironic indulgences. If that makes sense

[@therajgreek420]

The fact that people have such different opinions on this band makes it even better!

[@oktavianoki6432]

my new favorite band!

[@rikkiroxx1430]

I love how their influences are all over the place..Devo..Lou Reed..Dre..they must have a great producer..

Cheers Superorganism! Love your musical style and lyrics...I think people need to listen a little more closely...

[@음악하는해링거]

제발 한국에서 공연해주세여 ㅠㅠ

[@RedPandaIsRead]

Vice should keep their Vice News channel for issue driven news and use another channel for vids like this superorganism one or like the MGMT one from a couple weeks ago. I support Vice branching out with different content, but they should really differentiate the feeds. This is a perfectly fine interview and I like superorganism’s sound. But I think if you come to Vice News expecting an interesting take on a topical event, maybe getting informed about something more off-grid, this vid doesn’t really fit that. Ergo some of the negativity I’m noticing in the comments so far? No need to take it out on this band tho, imho. Anyway, that is all. Peace.

[@TheDumbestFrog]

Everyone can read the title of the video before they click on it. No one is being forced to watch it.

[@amrithanandr]

I agree 100%

[@yupisaid]

The people who have a problem with this video for the reason you mentioned are actually stupid because they go to Vice expecting news.

[@frzstat]

Great clip! Interesting people and beautifully stitched together.

[@johnjohnson-os5gw]

Lol, why the shit is everyone hatin’ on ‘em?

[@clairemilgram3952]

Mentioning Dr Dre and Lou Reed in the same breath? Super cool.

[@TrevorGarford]

my only criticism of new album is his constant referral to nature. its nice but does get a bit repetitive. been done on "Eons". Id love to hear his thoughts on relationships, culture, politics even.

Orono is a town in Minnesota.

[@parocks]

MAINE. She's named after Orono Maine, and her dorm was in Bangor Maine. Her parents met in Orono, they named her after Orono, she was born in Japan, then she went to boarding school in Bangor. I find it a really really interesting story. Less than a year ago, she was still in high school in Bangor. And this song is on the Alternative charts and they're playing a ton of festivals - as well as everything else. Go MAINE!

clearly we know who did most of the shit on this album

[@neovxr]

I just love them. Past and the future going "inclusion" hehehe.. And it's pop in the meaning of Andy Warhol. To like his stuff it was not required to understand anything. But he is being discussed still today. They need to find their own trajectory for a future because I hope they want to do this for a longer time, and have even more fun.
