Description
The new band Orbits has garnered much attention since debuting at this year's edition of Oslo Jazz with a completely sold-out concert. The singles "Synthetic Sweetness" and "Falling Apart" have been released to very positive reviews, showcasing a band that aims to create dance floors while also stirring deep emotions.
Natalie Sandtorv, Lars Horntveth, and Erlend Mokkelbost come from quite different musical backgrounds, yet Orbits serves as a perfectly natural meeting point. RnB, noise music, jazz, punk, indie rock, and orchestral works - all these have been central parts of the members of Orbits' musical history, and somehow everything fits into the band's exploratory and adventurous expression today.
'Blood Red Sky' takes the listener in a new direction where the band leans more towards the explosive, orchestral, and experimental. Instrumental tracks meet pop hooks, sound collages, Arthur Verocai-inspired strings, and complex rhythms, all in a symbiotic encounter inviting the listener into a rich sonic world with fantastic musicians and intricate arrangements.
