At the end of last year, inventive and outlandish outfit Orchestra of Spheres released their extraordinary second album Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music. One of the album’s standout cuts, ‘2,000,000 Years’, has been given a very fitting visual treatment, directed by Simon Ward. Here’s what Orchestra of Spheres said about the video:

“Simon Ward is one of the best music video directors in NZ. It was a total pleasure making this with him. We came up with a plan of making four miniature ‘concept worlds’, and set about gathering objects from people’s flats, the rubbish dump, things found on the streets… we got a stuffed crocodile, a decomposing pig’s head, a box of 30 vibrators and other assorted goodies. The idea is that each world starts getting filled up with the little people until they breed uncontrollably and it ends up with the froth/sperm/snow stuff eventually taking over… relates to the song, which is cryptically apocalyptic. Simon’s turned our crude concept into a really amazing video.”

Here’s the video for ‘2,000,000 Years’.

Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music is out now on Fire Records.

New Zealand’s Orchestra of Spheres are getting ready to release their second album. The unique and dynamic outfit, who explore and blend sonorities from all over the place, including what they call “the hypnotic beats of Kuduro, repetitive minimalist Bornean sape music, free jazz and improvised music, and the celestial chimes of gamelan”, aptly named the album Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music. Recorded in Montebelluna, Italy last year, the effort is described as “a surreal road-trip through a hyper primal, fuzzed-out, synth laden, garden of Eden.”. The press release adds that Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music is “a futuristic bunga-bunga party band for 22nd century boom-boom cults”
Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music will see the light of day on November 18th via Sound Explorers in New Zealand and via Fire Records in the rest of the world. Orchestra of Spheres will be hitting the road for an extensive European tour in November and December in support of the album. They are playing in London at Corsica Studios on December 12th, you can check all their other stops and info here.
Orchestra of Spheres are teasing the upcoming album with the hypnotic and awesome lead single ‘Journey’. Listen to it now.
