The solo recording project of Los Angeles resident Michael Orendy, who plays and records everything himself. The moniker comes from the fearsome piece of orthodontia that he wore as a child and suits Orendy's music perfect
Bio / Background
Who or what is a Frankel? Michael Orendy, the singer-songwriter behind the indie recording project, reveals that the name came from a fearsome piece of orthodontia that he had to wear as a child, "a giant retainer that filled your whole mouth - huge, kind of like what a boxer wears in the ring." Despite the trauma that it caused, Orendy embraced the term as his musical moniker. Frankel is a strangely fitting choice, for Orendy's music finds the the good in life's little slights. He mines sadness and yearning to create lilting, sun-drenched melodies that are sweet and bitter at the same time.
A Los Angeles native, Orendy grew up steeped in the music of Southern California, from the Byrds to Beachwood Sparks, and you can almost hear the deserts, canyons and the chaparral in his songs. His first musical instrument was a little-used organ in his parent's living room.
