ORBS Releases Debut Album:
“Asleep Next To Science” Available Now 

Asleep Next To Science, the debut album from ORBS, is now available in stores and online. ORBS is made up of Dan Briggs (Between the Buried and Me), Ashley Ellyllon (Abigail Williams/Cradle of Filth), Adam Fisher and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak (Fear Before), and Chuck Johnson (Torch Runner).  

With dark, whimsical stories expressed through space-rock interludes and the seamless infusion of ethereal lyrics over delicate piano work, ORBS effortlessly showcase their distinctly cinematic sound on the new album.  Asleep Next To Science steps outside of traditional song structure and envelops listeners into a whole new realm of sounds and musical experiences that unite emotion, nature, and space through quirky, unexpected rhythms, melodies, and experimental progressions.  

Revolver Magazine has described the album as “…one of the most ambitious debuts in recent memory…” with moments that are “…utterly breathtaking.”  Alternative Press notes the dramatic nature of the album comparing it to “…the most involved and twisted nursery rhyme you’ve never heard…”

ORBS will head out on tour with Junius (August 19 – September 5) and with Trophy Scars (September 6- September 12).  The fall tour will kick-off with the band’s CD release show this Thursday, August 19 at Legitimate Business in Greensboro, NC.  

Guitarist and co-founder Dan Briggs states of the release, “It’s been three years since Ashley and I started writing Asleep Next To Science together and it’s amazing that the album is finally out for everyone to discover. I hope that everyone enjoys the adventure!”
