The Orchids

This week’s Indie Basement album reviews: Stereolab, Unloved (ft Jarvis Cocker, Jon Spencer, more), Mo Troper, Bitchin Bajas, The Orchids, Living Hour and more.

Glasgow’s The Orchids have been making heartfelt, jangly indiepop for more than three decades, and their first album in eight years will be out in September

The late-’80s/early-’90s UK cult indie label was home to such bands as The Field Mice, Heavenly, Boyracer and more.
