Orchids, the debut full-length from Anna Orchids, is a cacophony of styles that results in an absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing listen. Trying to classify this record is a fool’s errand because it refuses to fit into any one well-defined box as it mixes together bits of doom metal, triple time drum machines, heavy heavy synth and plenty of dance floor tactics. In less passionate hands, this would be an unlistenable mess but Orchids balances its disparate pieces with astonishing ease.
Keep you ears peeled for guest vocalists Kent Osborne, FREAKDADDY, Marble Girl and Alex Olive but, mostly, just tune in for a truly unique – and truly satisfying – genre blending experience.
