Background
Orbs entered the studio at The Basement recording studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in February 2009. On April 4, 2010, the band released a free download of two songs from the album to fans who signed up to their mailing list.[2]
The band describes the album as "the product of long-distance friendships linked through an appreciation for music, nature, and a mutual desire to defy common song structure."[3] A tour in support of the album began on August 19, 2010 in Greensboro, North Carolina.[4]
