When I first caught on to Philadelphia’s Orbit To Leslie, I was shocked to find that it was just a side project of Chris Wood aka C. Dubbs – the drummer of Grimace Federation and Downtown Harvest. In my humble opinion I hope Wood considers sticking with Orbit To Leslie. From the five songs I’ve heard, there’s something special going on. No surprise here, the music of Orbit To Leslie is predominantly drum drive, riding waves of afro-beat and post rock to wash up on the shores of an island of pop. They actually remind me of Baltimore/DC band Deleted Scenes in that they take an alternative route to achieve compelling modern rock that isn’t over done. Enough talk, listen:
