ORB - Birth (Test Pressing)

The 2016 debut album from Geelong, Australia trio ORB gets a long-overdue reissue on Fuzz Club. Originally released on John Dwyer of OSEES’ Castle Face label and King Gizz’s Flightless Records, ‘Birth’ is a proggy but in the pocket head-trip where a heaping helping of stoned proto-metal chops meets paranoid sci fi fantastical ravings. Close mic’d to perfection by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current), these doomy heavy-psych epics swing with demonic swagger and crackle with the static of a menacing future, twisting and churning through loose-limbed riffery.
