=Jurgemeyer along with Dan Briggs (Between the Buried and Me) and Adam Fisher (Fear Before the March of Flames) formed Orbs. The band began in fall 2007 as an online project working across the United States in a similar fashion of The Postal Service. The band has a similar sound to the progressive rock of Between the Buried and Me and the later experimental sound of Fear Before the March of Flames. According to their official site, the sound and lyrics represent space and nature.
Asleep Next to Science is the group's debut studio album. It was released on August 17, 2010 through Equal Vision Records and was produced by Jamie King, known for producing Between the Buried and Me and Alesana. Orbs entered the studio at The Basement recording studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in February 2009. On April 4, 2010, the band released a free download of two songs from the album to fans who signed up to their mailing list. The band describes the album as "the product of long-distance friendships linked through an appreciation for music, nature, and a mutual desire to defy common song structure." A tour in support of the album began on August 19, 2010 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Orbs released a single entitled "These People Are Animals" on October 20, 2014. A second album, Past Life Regression, was released on July 15, 2016.
