Orbits - Blood Red Sky (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

What began as a one-off commission for the 2022 Moldejazz Festival has evolved into one of Norway’s most intriguing new projects. Orbits, the brainchild of Lars Horntveth, producer Erlend Mokkelbost, and vocalist Natalie Sandtorv, finds its full stride on their debut album Blood Red Sky, a genre-blurring follow-up to last year’s more cryptic Bad Mantras.

In 2025, Orbits returned with the single "Broken Glass" and on 29 August they will release their debut album Blood Red Sky. While their EP Bad Mantras showcased Orbits’ darker, more experimental side, their debut album Blood Red Sky opens up a broader musical landscape.

From sweet pop melodies to lush, Arthur Verocai-inspired string arrangements, minimal D’Angelo-esque beats, and expansive jam sessions, the album offers a wide array of sonic experiences. With contributions from some of Norway’s finest musicians, as well as California-based virtuoso Zach Tenorio [Arc Iris, Willow Smith] on organs and synthesizers, Blood Red Sky takes listeners on an exhilarating and unpredictable journey.

Recorded live in an abandoned gym hall in a small Norwegian town, this album stands as a testament to the power of human creativity, capturing the raw energy of music performed by living, breathing artists.
