Empty Space Orchestra

Empty Space Orchestra certainly knows how to fill a room. Bend, OR quintet of impeccable musicians crafts a symphonic, melodic sound that seamlessly weaves together elements of space rock, prog-metal, noir jazz, post-rock and afro-punk all in one massive blast of energy. Their 9-song, 50-minute self-titled debut album, Empty Space Orchestra, is a hook-laden marriage of heft and harmony that veers far away from the navel-gazing jamming often associated with music of such explorative origins.
