Released November 15, 2019

The first of a number of guitar pop singles, Ctrl + Esc is the landmark release of Bacolod City’s happy-go-lucky indie popsters under the name Project Orange. It all started with a home recording demo released in 2018 that made waves with college students in their home province, eventually led to a buzz in the Manila indie scene. This 2019 studio version is their first proper release under Lilystars Records. The mid-tempo groove is infectious, with Diana Mapa’s delicate voice and lyricism suggesting playful coquetry to lose control, like youngsters do.
