——— THE ORCHESTRA (FOR NOW) (UK)The last couple of years have seen the band on the kind of ascent that most new acts can only dream of. The Orchestra (For Now) played the main stage at Green Man Festival, appeared at End Of The Road Festival, and played several sold-out headline dates before even officially releasing a single. Having honed their sound on the London live circuit, the band released their much-anticipated debut EP Plan 75 in early 2025, igniting a fire amongst critics and their fanbase-cum-congregation alike. Capturing that same energy and passion that had made them an unmissable word of mouth success, the band sold out the Rough Trade exclusive version of their EP in less than 12 hours, earned widespread plaudits from the likes of NME, DIY, Rolling Stone, So Young, Clash, DORK, and Billboard, and sold-out their release show at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts
Plan 76 , released in October of last year, saw The Orchestra (For Now) continuing to develop on their maximalist approach to what they have self-described as “London prog”, combining avant-garde rock theatrics, intricate classical interplay, pastoral baroque indie, post-hardcore dynamics, jazz-tinted freakouts, and everything in between. The elements that made their debut a breakthrough success are still there, the compositions unpredictable yet unmistakably hook infused, and there are the droll references to pop culture and the world surrounding them, but everything is levelled up, the underpinning fragility wrapped in a shroud of musical confidence that can only come with such wide-eyed ambition.
Going on to speak about the EP, they say “Plan 76 completes the first story we wanted to tell. It is a continuation of the themes in our first record but placing what we established there in different worlds and situations. Instrumentally speaking it is, to us, more ambitious. Not because we are playing incredibly complicated parts, but the opposite - we tried to refine rather than complicate. There are incredibly exposed moments, where we stripped the instrumentation back (which is not natural for us to do). This EP is also setting the scene for what will come next..”
The band rounded off 2025 by selling out their first ever UK run of headline dates, with more dates lined up for 2026 as well as a much anticipated return to the studio, with their debut album in their sights.
