The Orchestra (For Now) - Plan 76

Plan 76 is an EP by London-based band The Orchestra (For Now) that expands on the musical and conceptual groundwork laid by Plan 75. Rather than functioning as a standalone release, it feels like a continuation of an ongoing narrative, pushing the band’s ambitions further. Across just over twenty minutes, the EP presents a tightly constructed yet volatile sound, rooted in progressive and post-rock traditions while maintaining a distinctly modern, art-rock sensibility. 

Musically, Plan 76 is defined by its dynamic contrasts and layered arrangements. Orchestral elements such as strings are woven into angular guitar lines and shifting rhythms, creating moments of both restraint and sudden intensity. The release was noted by critics for its controlled chaos and emotional immediacy, reinforcing The Orchestra (For Now)’s reputation as a band willing to embrace complexity without sacrificing impact.
