Submotion Orchestra (trip hop/dubstep/jazz/female vocals)
« on: September 21, 2011, 02:31:27 PM »
Has anyone here heard of these guys? They released their debut album Finest Hour earlier this year. I just listened to it yesterday for the first time and was blown away. I'm not normally into dubstep in any way, but it's used very subtly here, and works really well with the trip hop beats, trumpet, and piano.

"All Yours"

Cool to see this thread here, as I'm really into them at the moment. A beautiful girl who I'm kind of going with now introduced me to them. Funny to see you also linked to my favorite two tracks of the album. Can't get enough of the trumpet solo in 'All Yours', the moment when the beat drops back in. Magical.

Great stuff to relax to, sensual music.

Yeah man, that trumpet solo really stuck out for me. That's why I chose the song. :P

I've heard this album about 4 times now, and it's blowing me away more each time.

I have to say this is the most enjoyable dubstep-related music I've heard. Together with Burial, but that's totally different in style.

Yeah this, Bural, and James Blake are the only semi-dubstep things I enjoy.

Have you tried Magnetic Man? It's dubstep, although this track is not but I think it's one of their best.

i've heard 3 of the tracks off the album. i heard about them through a friend and was well, quite frankly, blown away by them! not usually into dubstep or that type of music but this band is certainly something else. need to listen through this album when i get the time!

I don't have anything like this in my collection and I'm quite intrigued. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

 I would describe it as hypnotically soothing.

Yeah, thanks man. This is the type of music I was looking for, which is the style like these guys, Massive Attacks Teardrop, and Buckethead Waiting Hare and Coma.

The beauty of these songs can only be achieved with a female vocalist.

It's a really interesting sound. I like Backchat better than All Yours from the two posted, but they were both pretty sick! Will definitely check out the whole album sometime soon

This thread needs a bump because this band rules and they released one of my favorite albums of the year.
