The Orchids - Dreaming Kind (album)

The long-awaited return of the best Scottish pop band since Orange Juice! 2023 album from Glasgow’s finest purveyors of jangle-pop beauty, The Orchids.

“Breathtaking songs that capture the beauty and sadness of life. As always, their music has a mix of fragility and resilience, and it's made brilliant through performances that are almost painfully tender while at the same time being oddly uplifting. Groups who can truly capture the real feelings of love and life while wrapping them in pretty melodies are few and far between; the Orchids are one of them, and Dreaming Kind is the band at their heartbreaking, heartwarming best.“ All Music
