Based out of Nottingham in England is five-piece Spiral Orbit recently revealed their strong new track titled "Isolation Zone".
The new cut from the band is their second of the year, and the intro alone was enough for me to give the song a chance, as it reminds me a lot of New Order and The Killers, especially when the synths come in after a few seconds.
... a synth-charged, '80s-inspired rock anthem that turns pandemic uncertainty into an uplifting, high-energy payoff.
With the aforementioned similarities to New Order, this track really does have a big late '80s synth-rock feel to it, with the vocal hooks also sounding like they have been cherry-picked from that era. Add in some more '70s glam rock-sounding synths and what you have here is a track that is incredibly nostalgic and yet feels as fresh as anything else out in the world right now.
This is the kind of track that will have you listening intently from the very first play. Once the song has its little mini-breakdown just shortly after the 2-minute mark, it builds right back up to reward you with an epic guitar solo and a final hurrah before ending on a high. Inspired by the pandemic, the track is all about the hope that emerges from uncertainty. Be sure to give this track a listen, as well as their previous singles. There is plenty more where that came from.
