ORCHIDS
“The best Scottish pop band since Orange Juice” – Melody Maker
ABOUT
For those of you unfamiliar with The Orchids’ work, their music is bright pop music, crystal clear, but in no way could it be described as featherweight pop.
The enigmatic five piece band formed in Glasgow, and have released some of the finest pop songs of their generation since humble beginnings in the suburbs, where the three founder members grew up and started the band in 1986. Their first six singles and three albums were met with widespread critical acclaim, much of this from outside the UK.
Ahead of their time in the early 90’s, it is only now that many have realised how fascinating and mature those earlier releases were.
“This group are a magical box of delights; always were and always will be.”
NEWS
October 2019
Our 7th studio album is in development! We are working on a new record with around 23 songs at different stages of development. We are very excited to be working with Ian Carmichael again on these and how the tracks are forming into what we hope will be our best album ever! Some of the songs in development are "Caravan", "Isn't It Easy" and "Limitless". Another one we are working on is "Buddy", a raucous song that we played live at our Glasgow gig in June.
