Band: THE ORCHESTRA (FOR NOW)
Who: Unorthodox 7-piece from London.
They released their 4-track EP Plan 75
last March.
Track: HATTRICK
New single, part of their 2nd EP, titled
Plan 76, out on October 31.
“Like a lot of our songs, ‘Hattrick’ has taken many forms. It began as a sequence of sections that Joe [Scarisbrick] wrote words to, and we altered it into its final shape as the narrative began to emerge from those words. It’s a series of explosions and attempts at recovery and reckoning.”
TUTV: Expect nuclear orchestral manoeuvres in the dark with violins zigzagging
here and there; the Black Country, New Road way, but even more unbridled.
Götterdämmerung pandemonium and organized sonic chaos. A succession of quiet/Loud/quiet/Loud extravaganza bombards your ears. It all sounds like a sort of
prog-post-punk rock musical performed in just one 5+ minute song. Breathtaking.
