Australian psych/rock heavyweights ORB join Fuzz Club and release their long-awaited new album ‘Tailem Bend’, out July 12th !

We’re mega excited to welcome ORB to the club for their long-awaited new album ‘Tailem Bend’  It’s the Australian psych/rock heavyweights' first in six years and lands July 12th on Fuzz Club in Europe and North America and on Flightless Records in Australia

Stream the lead single ‘Can’t Do That’ and B-side ‘Morph’ now and pre-order the vinyl/CD here – there are special limited edition variants available via the Fuzz Club store/membership, Levitation and Rough Trade!

Saturated in vintage warmth and depth, ‘Tailem Bend’ showcases ORB’s knack for achieving tuneful hypnosis amidst a dank roominess. It snakes through big, brash riffing as often as it does sun-dappled psych pop, with memorable rhythmic runs and funky wah licks along the way. There’s plenty of the band we know and love, but there’s also enough of the new to prompt a healthy succession of double takes. There are still the inevitable avalanches of fuzz, but also present now are mellower passages and a renewed focus on rhythm and space.

It wasn’t meant to be six years between albums for ORB. The Geelong-forged trio last graced us with 2018’s characteristically heady ‘The Space Between’, before touring Europe and America back-to-back supporting King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in 2019. But time rarely passes as expected, whether slowed by pandemics, side pursuits or other vagaries of daily life. What’s important is that a fourth album is finally here, with enough byways and trapdoors to keep us well occupied indeed.
