Orchards – Luv You 2 (Big Scary Monsters Records)
 |
| Orchards - Luv You 2 |
Release Date: Out Now
Some bands come my way with a
reputation but, in this case, it is the label that has that reputation – Big Scary
Monsters have an excellent roster which you need to check out if you haven’t already
done so. So, new signings Orchards have a lot to live up to, but boy do they
know what they’re doing. New single ‘Luv You 2’ is a sweet, sweet blend of
indie guitars, pop melodies and art rock ambition and it will leave your head
spinning in the most glorious way. The bass drives this one while the drums are
wonderfully erratic, and the guitars are in a strange place somewhere between Vampire
Weekend and Biffy Clyro. As if this cake needed any topping off, the vocals of Lucy
Evers are the perfect blend of sugar and spice with the melodies drawing you
away before the slap in the face reminds you of your place. There are comparisons
with fellow Brightonians Beach Riot but there’s more than enough room in this
world for both bands so don’t feel like you’ve got to choose favourites.
