That reputation has further flourished with the release his new album LOJA.
In celebration of the album, Orlando is now set to embark on a UK tour across the country - including a tour closing date at Brighton's
St George's Church on the 4th October.
LOJA is a record in which place is as vital a characteristic as the emotions and incidents that he explores.
The overarching themes are optimism and reflection: the positive mindset that emerged as he left London for a new life in Lisbon together with a new-found awareness about the things that you have left behind. Contentment emanates like a comforting embrace from an old friend.
Yet life can never be as linear or as pure as unfiltered unhappiness and so the new album on occasion captures more corrosive moods too, from whispered confrontations to witnessing shocking tragedy in otherwise beautiful serenity.
Orlando says:
"The great change in our lives was that we left London and moved to Lisbon, and the record definitely has elements of being a love letter to the place that we now call home.
"But I think the move provided a stirring of the waters. It threw up an awful lot of stuff and it gave us perspective and hindsight because suddenly there was distance.
"You can re-evaluate the things you were too close to, those things that there was no point spending time thinking about because it was the day-to-day bubble you were in."
The title LOJA (a shop or a store) references a building that Orlando rented in Lisbon which he used as his first proper art studio, a place where he crafted all of the art that accompanies the album.
