The Orb / Buddhist Hipsters

 In a changing, unpredictable and turbulent world, something we can always rely on is a new Orb album, with the next holiday-for-the-head never far away. On what is quite possibly the millionth longplayer helmed by electronic lifer Alex Paterson; partnered with the now firmly-entrenched boy wonder Michael Rendall; the inspirationally productive outfit yet again deliver the goods, with one of their best yet.

Rio Kosta / Unicorn

 Άψογοι ο Μάικ και ο Κώστας

 Collectively, Unicorn is an album infused with the spirit of its creation. The multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and songwriter duo – Mike Del Rio and Kosta Galanopoulos – met by chance backstage at a festival, each intrigued by the other’s vibe. That feeling of fate intervening was only heightened when their very first jam together resulted in the album’s title track. Since that moment, Rio Kosta has been informed by the bliss of friendship, of losing themselves in playing music, and of jamming deep into the night. That spirit is palpable throughout.
