People In Orbit - Viewpoint

Fakta A follow up to their critically acclaimed 2023 release Close/Away, and debuting on April Records, the second album of Swedish quintet People In Orbit, Viewpoint, is all about perspectives. How can different perspectives shape our mindsets and our interpretation of our world? How can different perspectives and points of view either make us build a better society and human interaction and others create destruction and distance between us. Out of this came the suite Cycles in 4 parts, composed out of a graphic score. Every part symbolizes a specific human life and its perspective of its surrounding world. The two other songs are written from the perspective of whales swimming deep in the ocean and a leaf falling down, slowly twisting in the wind and making its way to the ground. Musically, Viewpoint continues People In Orbit’s blend of modern jazz-rock and electronics, while drawing influence from the Scandinavian jazz quintet tradition of the 1960s.
