Going the Bill Callahan route, Adrian Orange dropped his Thanksgiving sobriquet and started drifting aside from the fuzzed lo-fi folk music sound that marked his lowly beginnings as a soloist. After 2006's Undermine Days and Moments he proclaimed that he was interested moving in a dance-pop direction with a wide band and released Bitches Is Lord afterward that year, staying true to his lo-fi conformation despite the accession of overdubbed galvanising guitar, bass, and drums to his compositions. In 2007, he hooked up with a massive 17-person backing group, complete with horn section, and recorded Publius Aelius Hadrianus Orange & Her Band under the alias Adrian Orange & Her Band, as if his old pseudonym wasn't confusing enough.
