Growing with little knowledge of chords but noises that find their way into rhythm, a movement known as ViewOfAKind brings a do with what you got attitude for singer songwriter James T. Orton. The past is quite often relied on to challenge the readiness of current musical tastes. Elgin, IL being the birthplace for Orton, seemingly had its influence for the dance and beat tracks found on the debut album.
