Recently reunited following a long sabbatical, Paul and Phil Hartnoll's new LP Wonky is described as “a vividly modern spin on their signature blend of richly melodic, deeply emotive electronica”.
Paul said of the record: “You will even hear slight influences of dubstep but we are equally influenced by modern folk records as we are by dubstep or modern dance records… Just following fashion is boring, it’s more interesting to try and say what you want to say – to let the book write itself, honestly and naturally.”
Orbital were formed in the late 1980s by Paul and Phil in their native Sevenoaks, on the southern fringes of London, close to the circular M25 motorway which inspired their name. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2009 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill.
Orbital's UK April tour dates are:
05 Manchester Academy
06 Leeds O2 Academy
07 Glasgow O2 Academy
08 Liverpool O2 Academy
09 Cambridge Corn Exchange 10 London Royal Albert Hall
