Geelong, Australia-based power trio O.R.B (the Organic Rock Band) return with a brand new 7" titled ‘Mind Over Matter’, picking up from their long-awaited return after a near six-year hiatus with 2024's ‘Tailem Bend’ LP. Out digitally now and on limited red 7" September 26th through Fuzz Club, this super limited 45 arrives in support of upcoming North American and European tour dates – O.R.B’s first time playing shows outside of Australia since their 2019 tour of both continents with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
“Everything in the world begins with a thought. We get an idea, we think about it, we talk about it, we write it down, we build it and then it exists,” says guitarist/vocalist Zak Olsen. In this instance we have a new O.R.B tune, a psychedelic rock song inspired by the rhythm and blues and doo-wop of pre-Beatles rock ‘n’ roll – before Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Blackrock came in and fucked it all up. “Music is esoteric in nature, liquid and ever changing. It is alchemical. In futile attempts at capturing this magic we have taken to engraving our music into bits of plastic, trying to present the song within as the ‘definitive’ version… of course this is BS. Nobody from Beethoven to Beefheart could play the song exactly the same way twice even if they tried. So here is a version of our new song ‘Mind Over Matter’. We played it a few times before we recorded it and will play it many times after, and none will ever be quite the same, because that’s music!”
On the flip-side is ‘End Times’, which ploughs similarly loose and heady psychedelic-rock terrain but still retains some of that same stoned, saturated riffing that O.R.B have burrowed deep into from the off. Yet, here, the trio of Olsen, bassist David Gravolin and new drummer John Zacharius trail off into an outro that arguably echoes Can more than any Sabbathian forebears.
