ORBITA WIRU is an alternative rock band from Warsaw. The band’s music is the sonic uncompromisingness of simple rhythm, the power of guitars, the penetrating voice, and the whole is a consistently pulsating sound machine.
The band has four albums to its credit: “Wiru Sfera” (2006), “Relikwiat” (2009), “My Maszyny” (2013), “Hipis 2020” (2020) and a fifth, which will premiere in the fall of 2024. Trailers of the new album are already available on streaming services in the form of three EPs: “Rodeo“, “Kosmateus” and “Czcigodnie“.
The EP “Prisoners of the Continuum” is the latest dose of sounds from Warsaw’s energy bomb, the band ORBITA WIRU. The mini album closes the larger whole in the form of the fifth album in the collection and shows what has been happening creatively in the band’s circle over the past year.
The new EP “Prisoners of the Continuum” was released on July 26, 2024 in digital format on the most popular streaming platforms. In the autumn of this year, the EPs will be released on one CD as a compilation. More information soon.
This is what the band says about the songs on their newest release:
Prisoners of the Continuum
Difficult times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times generate weak people who create difficult times again. And so this carousel of generational consequences has been spinning continuously for centuries at different rates and in different places on Earth. One should wonder which generation we ourselves belong to? Interestingly, the piece was sung in four languages.
Watykan (en. Vatican)
The mechanism of intellectual property rights capture by media corporations is always similar and unchanged for years. The creator faces the dilemma of whether to give up some of the rights to his work at the expense of belonging to a larger whole and participating in the functioning of the system, or to take up a solo fight often carrying the risk of remaining in an artistic niche while maintaining artistic independence.
Moja Mała Furia 2004 (en. My Little Fury 2024)
This is a song that opened many doors for us in 2009, many people began to associate Orbita Wiru, also through participation and success in the music show Hit Generator. Throughout all these years, we had the impression that it was not recorded properly by us, because time in the studio was pressing and certain parts could have been recorded better. In 2023, we took it up again, recording the same parts in the same arrangement, this time without rushing. The idea of the lyrics has not changed either – you have to learn to suppress anger, because aggression is escalating more and more around you.
