Orion is the 11th studio album by American singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, released on May 18, 2010, by Adams' own record label PAX AM. Described as Adams' first "fully-realized sci-fi metal concept album,"[3] Orion was released on a limited vinyl run, and could only be purchased from the PAX AM online store. There are no plans for a wide release, but as of November 4, 2010, Adams' new site paxamrecords.com is offering a standard edition vinyl[4] that will also include the download card of the entire album. Those who purchased the album in its limited run also received a bonus 7" single.
The album was recorded in 2006, while working on Easy Tiger with producer Jamie Candiloro,[5] and is Adams' first full-length album release since splitting from The Cardinals in March 2009.
Orion's artwork was designed by Michel Langevin of Voivod.[6]
