Orchards – Magical Thinking (Big Scary
Orchards - Magical Thinking
Monsters)
Release Date: Out Now
Oh, I do so love Brighton bunch
Orchards. They have a way of making everything simultaneously joyful and also
angular in a way that makes their music like a modern-art sculpture which is a
neat trick to pull off. New single ‘Magical Thinking’ bounds into the room like
a hyped-up teenager but the voice of Lucy Evers smooths the corners off those
angles as the bass pulses and the drums punch with machine-like accuracy. The
star for me, however, are the chiming guitars of Sam Rushton that sit this one
on the bench between Foals, Charly Bliss and the Maccabees but with a sugar
rush about to reach its peak.
