Machine Orb formed in Spain's Basque Country in 1996, with Iñigo Aizpún handling electronics and programming, Mikel Izal on vocals and lyrics, and David González on drums. Their debut album 'Secretos' came out in 1998, and its title track became a notable song in the Spanish alternative scene at the time.
They followed with albums like 'The Next Day' in 2000, 'Lost in Translation' in 2004, and 'Light' in 2011. Their sound mixed electronic elements with ambient textures and rock structures, built around Izal's vocal delivery and atmospheric synth work.
They toured in Europe and Latin America after 'Secretos' gained attention. The band maintained a following for their studio recordings and live shows, working within an experimental electronic framework without much mainstream crossover.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
