In approaching the hundredth anniversary of Gustav Holst's The Planets, One Ring Zero believed it was time to revisit the solar system. Herewith, therefore, an album of new compositions to capture the splendor and complexity of our celestial neighbors.  Yes, Pluto is included!

Tonight, One Ring Zero celebrates the release of Planets, taking you on a journey though our solar system.  With ORZ's bizarre sounds and instruments, including theremin, claviola, accordion, the band will embrace their "gypsy-klezmer circus-flea-cartoon," "lit-rock" sound, while drawing inspiration from 1970's progressive rock, with nods to Stravinsky, Mahler, and of course, Gustav Holst.
