Overdrive Orchestra’s fourth studio record 'Restless Star' is, quite simply, a fever dream. Touching on the cyclical nature of life and different forms of death - lost loved ones, past lives, ego death - the album chronicles the process of letting go and being true to one’s beliefs. From breaking old habits that no longer serve us, to removing the many faces we wear, and acknowledging the mental health struggles that stem from modern existence. 'Restless Star' encourages the listener to rise above the haze of daily life and rediscover their sense of self.
