Quando o gosto por experimentação ultrapassa os limites, o negócio pode se tornar extremamente viciante, e porque não perigoso, o desejo insano de extravasar esta definitivamente inserido no DNA dos freaks do Under Orbit.
Pense em unificar NEU!, Flaming Lips, Soft Moon, e o gosto por synths repetitivos, tudo é alimento para as alucinações que a música do Under Orbit produz.

"UO I", debute dos caras de 2016 é um exercício alucinógeno movido a isso tudo com um aditivo fundamental, synths e mais synths, o combustível fundamental para as viagens dos caras.
O Under Orbit é droga sonora forte e apenas indicada para iniciados e desorientados.
***** Interview with Under Orbit *****
Q. When did Under Orbit begin? Tell us about the history...
Js Curley: In 2015 I purchased a drum machine and borrowed a bass to begin a journey into lofi home-reccording/ demoing. I had met Drew White a few years prior after becoming a huge fan of his band at the time (Face on Mars). After my band Stellatone played a few shows with Face on Mars locally, we really connected on a mutual love of effect pedals/ soundscapes/ love of various bands. A few years later we formed the band a spacey heavy rock band MOON. After a few shows MOON eventually fizzled out and we all moved on to new projects. Post-MOON, Drew joined my project Stellatone playing rhythm guitar for a few years. In 2015 after drew and I finished a summer Stellatone tour, we began collaborating on some home-recordings. We did not become a “real” band until I booked a show opening for Zvi (Ron Varod of Kayo Dot/ Sabbath Assembly) and Hattiesburg heavies Year of the Vulture with another band that fell through. I called Drew and began assembling a backing band consisting of bassist Jonathan Lee Parks (Face on Mars/ex-MOON/Stellatone (keyboardist at the time)) and drummer John Littlejohn (Before I Hang/Emerald Heavy/ex-MOON/ Savage Master) to develop a live set. The current lineup still includes these members however due to heavy touring commitments with Savage Master, our friend Quinn Mackey (Nossiens// Dream/ Window) plays drums when John is not available.
