Band Review: Into Orbit


Into Orbit is an experimental rock band from Wellington, New Zealand.

It is not only their name that conjures up space. Many of the track titles are also astronomical terms: "Perihelion", "Aphelion", and "Dark Matter".

Even when the names are less obviously celestial - like "Towers", "Creeping Vines", or "Set Adrift" - there is still a mood of exploration.

This fits in well with their music. It is trying new things and pressing against boundaries. Despite this, Into Orbit retains a sense of musicality often lost by other bands in the genre.

With their new release, "Gilgamesh", perhaps they are ready to do something epic.
