An incredibly inventive and outlandish band, they explore and experiment with an array of influences and genres from all over the place using a selection of handmade instruments. The band&#8217;s eccentric and ecstatic live shows are something that truly must not be missed and have earned them fans everywhere. And as if we weren&#8217;t already excited enough to see them at Le Guess Who?, Orchestra of Spheres have a brand new album on the way, <em>Mirror<\/em>, releasing on November 2nd.
