The Orchids Share I Never Thought I Was Clever Video

Leave a comment

Earlier this year, the Orchids made a bold return with their brilliant new Dreaming Kind LP; the record is full of great pop tunes, and we get a chance to reinforce that today by sharing the video for “I Never Thought I Was Clever.” The video captures a blossoming relationship, spliced with some live footage and a little political nod; it’s great storytelling if you’re here for that. Me, I just love the tune. It takes a minute to really dive into the meat of the track, offering a silky little vocal over light accompaniment from the group. Just as you creep towards the 1 minute mark, the drums pick up and the song turns into this wistful pop tune that will carry you into daydream nation. Spend time with the song, the video, then get a copy of the LP, which is out now via Skep Wax!

The Orchids Share Didn’t We Love You

Now that we’re settled in with our playlist, let us focus on the great hits coming your way today, like this latest ditty from the Orchids. Honestly, this is pure old fashioned pop music of the non-commercial sort (sadly); it’s the sort you’d expect to hear from a classic indiepop act! Jangles are soft and sharp, with this bubbling bass line cruising underneath the softened vocal twists. It seems so simple, but there’s no way you can’t just bob your head and appreciate how classically good this is; it doesn’t need flare or drama, as it’s the purest of pop sounds…and I can’t get enough. Dreaming Kind will be out on September 2nd via Skep Wax.

The Orchids Return with New Album

Guess it’s a Sarah Records sort of Monday, which I’m totally okay with over here. After the Useless Users announcement, let’s turn our attention to the Orchids. The Glaswegian outfit have announced a brand new LP, Dreaming Kind, their first record since 2014. For fifteen seconds they tease us, hanging with some wee ambient bits before the song just seems to drop in from the heavens, with James’ voice in particular embracing you as it crosses through your speakers. At times, the tones of the guitars and keys leave a darker note to the song, but one can’t escape the melody churned out, especially when that chorus hits you. Dreaming Kind will be released by Skep Wax on September 2nd. And, if you’re ordering from the States, the label’s worked out a deal with American distributor Jigsaw, so you won’t have to worry about shipping costs! Grab it quick!
