ORB
BIRTH
Limited 'Noxious Cloud' Vinyl LP
Castle Face and company have always had a penchant for stony longhairs, proto-metal, and riff filled ragers. If you’ve followed the label then they may have introduced you to some of your favorite acts today. Examples being Ty Segall, White Fence, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Male Gaze, and Sunwatchers to name a few. Plucked from Geelong, Australia trio ORB-which features former members of the Frowning Clouds-is a band that continues to carry the afore mentioned qualities. Falling from the void Birthuses dystopian grooves to separate the seeds and stems from the heady nuggs.
From the looming bass notes of “Iron Mountain” you may swear that it is SLEEP’s “From Beyond.” But, a few more seconds into the track and the curtains pulls back to reveal an amorphous, abyss spawned sludge fire. “New Moon” is an instrumental monolith that slowly strides with mixed flourishes of wah. But, the real treats here are “First and Last Men” with final track “Electric Blanket.” “First and Last Men” throws a heavy breakdown that really gave me a “War Pigs” vibe-I’m sure Iommi would be proud. “Electric Blanket” is a title that could be taken literally. Clocking in at 16:03 this warm and fuzzy monster recalls everything from Hendrix’s “Manic Depression” to Sabbath’s “Hand of Doom” with a heady mix of prog for good measure.
