In a changing, unpredictable and turbulent world, something we can always rely on is a new Orb album. On what is quite possibly the millionth longplayer helmed by electronic lifer Alex Paterson; partnered with the now firmly-entrenched boy wonder Michael Rendall; the inspirationally productive outfit yet again deliver the goods, with one of their best yet - Buddhist Hipsters coming 10.10.2025.

"I was having a dream, and in this dream was an escalator descending out of the clouds, upon which were Buddhists and hipsters travelling downwards, and beckoning me down from the top, was Roger Eno. When I woke up, I had a text from him, asking if we fancied more collabs, so he’s on the record, amongst other friends" - Alex Paterson

Arabebonics -  the first track from the album is available on all platforms now. The title of this eastern influenced, orchestral hip hop drama is a word invented by rapper Rrome Alone, who lends vocals to the track, with added BVs and strings from Violeta Vicci. Listen to the new track at orb.lnk.to/Arabebonics.

Buddhist Hipsters is available to pre-order now on CD with a 6 panel fold out sleeve, black double LP vinyl with a gatefold sleeve and limited-edition rust red, pink marble and yellow marble vinyl from theorb store at orb.lnk.to/BuddhistHPR.
