or most artists, one of the happiest days of your fledgling career is the release of your debut album and in March 2020, Brighton's indie/alt-poppers Orchards were all set for their deserved crack at bigger things. Then of course the week of their album release, a global pandemic intervened. With touring cancelled and music obviously taking a back seat to wider issues, the band were left to reflect on what might have been in 2020/21. Despite this, the band have locked themselves away and rallied with new music - the irresistible Trust Issues EP. And while their glittery bombastic power indie-pop shows no sign of retreating, the EP has certainly taken on an edgier, darker lyrical tone. From the anti-establishment `Leave Us Here We're Fine' to anti love-songs `Drive Me Home' and `Wrong Shoes' the band have found their targets and aren't letting up; all the way from the attack on the close-minded on `Wonderful' to the anti-media message of `Hello Insecurity'. Congratulations universe you've finally pissed off the happiest band in math pop!
