The Orchids - Good To Be A Stranger

This enigmatic Glasgwegian 5 piece released some of the finest pop songs of the 1980's. Their first six singles and three albums were met with
widespread critical acclaim. They graduated from the gentle lo-fi  of their first album, Lyceum, in 1989(“A minor classic – don’t let it pass you by”
said NME) through to the ground breaking and progressive sounds of their third, aptly titled, Striving For The Lazy Perfection in 1994. In the
intervening years they released Unholy Soul in 1991 (“Sarah Records answer to the Beach Boys Pet Sounds”) and some truly original singles & EPs .
Reformed in 2004 after a break of Paddy McAloon proportions they are now ready to take another swipe at the tedious world of the music business
with an album that takes them back to their musical roots. Their new record Good To Be A Stranger is a fabulous collection of new songs that will feed
the hungry appetite of the fan base that has grown over the intervening years.
