Alium

Since forming in Leeds in 2009 Sub motion Orchestra have carved out their own special place in the UK's ever-changing musical landscape. The 7 piece band's fusion of bass heavy electronica, jazz, soul and much more besides has made them a favourite of the likes of Gilles Peterson, Trevor Nelson and Jo Whiley, whilst their live show has seen them play festivals around the world and sell out venues such as London's famous KOKO. Now following two critically acclaimed albums, FINEST HOUR and FRAGMENTS, Sub motion Orchestra return bigger, brighter and bolder than ever with ALIUM; their first album for Counter Records. ALIUM sees the band in an expansive mood as the interplay between their electronic and acoustic sounds has become more natural than ever, whilst Ruby Wood's vocals continue to find new levels of emotion. Written over two years in the remote Welsh countryside and recorded in Brighton, ALIUM has been a true group effort with every band member involved in the writing and recording process, something that is reflected in the album's varied nature.
