Orbit 17 - bonfires

Orbit 17 is an experimental independent rock band based in California's Bay Area. The band was founded by Jamie Brite and Misha Guiffre in 2022, with Ryan Senft joining on drums in 2023 and Mary Herigstad-Franz on vocals and synthesizers in 2024.

Their music examines the conflict between the digital and the analog, and forces the two into an uneasy momentary harmony. As a group, they often explore unusual territory for popular music, such as odd time signatures or unusual harmonic modes. However, the songs never drift fully into progressive or experimental territory and remain hypnotic and radio friendly, if perhaps a bit “otherworldly.”
