ORKESTR is a space rock band from Horst aan de Maas, The Netherlands, that combines textured synths, melodic bass guitar and laid-back drums to create timeless soundscapes for your sci-fi dreams. ORKESTR was formed in late 2019 by four seasoned musicians who earned their stripes in the local scene with bands such as No Man’s Valley and The Mothmen. The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unexpected challenge, forcing them to pivot and focus on their studio craft. This unscheduled detour ultimately led to the creation of their debut album. After years of hard work, second-guessing, and lessons learned, ORKESTR is proud to announce the release of their self-titled debut, distributed by Sound Effect Records. The album will be accompanied by an animated film by the artist Jenzen. The future looks bright for ORKESTR – or should we say, the retrofuture? “Orkestr” is due out September 6, 2024, on limited private-press vinyl and digisleeve CD, on Sound Effect Records.
