20 Questions With Orbital: ‘There’s Just This Open, Puppy Dog Joy That Seems to Come With an American Crowd’
The U.K. electronic legends continue their U.S. run this weekend at Coachella, with their seminal debut album getting a re-release later this month.
Back when “rave anthem” was still a burgeoning genre staple, Orbital released its 1989 debut single “Chime” and gave the nascent dance scene something to vibe to. Orbital will make its first Coachella appearance since 2010 over the next two weekends (April 12-14 and 19-21), with the shows rounding out a U.S. tour that included stops in New York, Chicago and Ultra Music Festival in Miami. At times it’s kind of very Philip Glass-ey, Michael Nyman-ey, then all of a sudden it just falls into stuff that sounds that’s full on dance music with huge, great orchestral samples, and then it’ll boil down to a really sweet, almost folky vocal, which I think is her singing.
