Following the achievement of their introduction single, ‘Tapestry’ delivered toward the end of last year, 6-piece soul collective Peak Futures return with their sophomore single, ‘Orion’ featuring vocals from Joe Bernie and accompanied by an outer space-themed visual.
Steeped in arcane lyricism that’s complex yet equally compelling, ‘Orion’ ponders the big questions in life, casually dissecting existential dread over haunting synth lines and plucky strings. Drawing the listener in from the very first note, Joe Bernie’s incredible, soulful, rock-like vocals act as the glue that binds the whole arrangement together. Inspired by the sonic palettes of Isaac Hayes – both his early Stax staff arrangements as well as the epic solo era – Peak Futures’ sound doesn’t shy away from extended instrumentals or putting a non-vocal part at the fore.
To bring to life the track ‘Orion,’ Peak Futures share a stunning out-of-this-world visual which can be seen below…
