The Orb – It’s Coming Soon
The Orb returns with “It’s Coming Soon”, the second single from their upcoming album “Buddhist Hipsters,” due October 10th via Cooking Vinyl. Alex Paterson and Michael Rendall deliver what Paterson calls one of their best yet, featuring Andy Cain’s vocals over arpeggiated progressions.
The album came together after Paterson had a dream about Buddhists and hipsters descending on an escalator from the clouds, with Roger Eno beckoning from above. When he woke up, there was a text from Eno asking about collaborations. “Recording the album and playing recent gigs have been comfortable, happy, and therapeutic experiences,” Paterson explains, crediting his partnership with Michael Rendall.
The Orb will tour extensively from September through December, hitting venues across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.
