 “Atop sharp-edged, angular collisions, Orchards manage to cram approximately 5 killer hooks into the space of a single song” – DIY 
 “The band’s whip-smart math-pop is all glistening surface and immediate melody, but beneath this chrome-plated chassis lies a complex rhythmic engine” - Clash 
 Born from Brighton’s diverse musical breeding ground, indie pop group Orchards are among the city's brightest rising stars.
