Listen: Orchestra Of Spheres - Anklung Song

Enigmatic outfit Orchestra of Spheres are inching closer to the release date for their third album, and in anticipation have let loose incredible new single 'Anklung Song'. Titled Brothers And Sisters Of The Black Lagoon, the forthcoming album follows on from the Wellington group's 2013 release Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music, and is set to materialise worldwide on 13th May via British independent label Fire Records.

The 11-song record was laid down last year at the Pyramid Club in Wellington - a few months after the New Zealand general elections - which had an impact on the way the group approached the recordings, as they explain in a press release accompanying the single:

"We're not a political band. We want to make beautiful things and give love to people through sound. Our music bounces off the ground and goes up up up up into the air ... But we're living in dark times. It's a time of remote war, mass deceit and money worship. The mainstream is porn on P. Somehow the mood of the time filtered into these recording sessions, in an abstract way. The songs on Brothers and Sisters of the Black Lagoon aren't 'about' anything. We all feed from the same giant soup of images. Sometimes lyrics bob to the surface and we spoon them to our lips."

Take a listen to the single below, and keep your eyes peeled for the full release next month...

Orchestra Of Spheres will be playing at Slow Boats Record Store Celebrations this Saturday 16th April from 2pm
