Leeds-based live dubstep outfit Submotion Orchestra have announced details of their forthcoming new album ‘Fragments’, which will precede the band’s October UK tour.
Out on September 24th, the new album is yet another fine slice of downtempo loveliness. Bass, rhythm and soul are still paramount, but from the first few bars of ‘Intro’, with its Philip Glass-meets-Penguin Café pianos, it’s clearly evident that the band have broadened their musical palate. It’s also clear they’ve made this expansion sound effortlessly captivating - ready to melt minds and bassbins alike.
“In making 'Fragments', we started to stretch out from the template of the first album”, explains keyboardist Taz Modi. “There's a lot more colour and moods on this record; strings, woodwind and various new synth textures. We followed our noses to see where they'd lead us. There should be enough here to satisfy fans of 'Finest Hour', but hopefully there'll be quite a bit to surprise them as well…”
The album is it on its way soon and will be followed by a full headline tour of the UK. If you’re a fan of the band, check out their tour dates below and follow the links to find tickets.
