Bright Idea is the debut studio album by American power pop band Orson. Originally self-released in 2005, it was released commercially on May 29, 2006 in the UK and internationally on June 13, 2006.
The album was recorded for just $5,000 in Hollywood, funded by the band themselves, and produced by Noah Shain. It contains the hit singles "No Tomorrow", "Bright Idea", "Happiness" and "Already Over". Bright Idea charted at #1 on the official UK album chart on June 4, 2006. The video for the single "Bright Idea" was directed by Tony Petrossian and was released as the follow-up to the UK #1 chart topper "No Tomorrow".
The album was prized with a platinum record in the United Kingdom. About 700,000 copies were sold worldwide.
Founding guitarist Chad Rachild departed the band shortly before the completion of the album's recording sessions and was replaced by Kevin Roentgen.
All lyrics written by Jason Pebworth, except where noted; all music written by George Astasio, Chris Cano, Johnny Lonely, Pebworth, and Chad Rachild.
