Since their inception in 2009, the genre-defying Submotion Orchestra have moved seamlessly between deep electronica, jazz, soul and ambient downtempo, mesmerising audiences from Iceland to India. Their unique music is at once delicate and heavy, spacious and dense, highly atmospheric but firmly rooted. Earth-shaking bass and drums combine with lush keyboard and trumpet textures to create the perfect backdrop for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals.
Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band quickly made a splash on the wider scene, with their gigs and recordings – including classic debut album Finest Hour – creating a devoted fanbase. Five albums, numerous EPs and many sold-out UK and EU tours later, the tireless band are still going strong, with their most recent release Five Points (SMO Recordings) showcasing their most interesting music yet, one which ploughs a path through electronic, jazz, ambient and soul in the singular way that Submotion Orchestra can do.
