Aotearoa (New Zealand)’s interstellar jazz collective The Circling Sun return with their radiant second album Orbits, landing July 11th. A deeper, more groove-driven journey than their acclaimed debut Spirits, the new record brings cosmic synth textures, Brazilian rhythms, Afro-Cuban percussion, and the transcendent presence of the Love Affinity Choir into bold alignment.
Blending organic instrumentation with shimmering electronics, Orbits channels a warm, meditative energy that invites both movement and reflection. At the heart of the record is a deep sense of collectivity - voices rising together, rhythms pulsing in orbit.
