ORB dropped their latest full-length “Tailem Bend” today. You can support the band directly on Bandcamp, or order a cool vinyl variant from Fuzz Club, Flightless, Levitation, or your local record store.
My take? A different direction from ORB’s past albums, focusing less on heavy riff driven psych with some lighter psych pop. Having spent a decent time listening to The Frowning Clouds which included members of ORB - I feel like this is a great unionizing of the influences for both projects. As much as I might have wished for another album of headbangers, I’m really excited to see such versatility from these guys and I hope to see them continue to tour and release music. My standout track so far is “Karma Comes” - a 3 and a half minute trip through psych pop - all the way from Sgt. Pepper to Itchycoo Park.
