'the orchard' unfolds like origami - each undone corner revealing ra ra riot's collective knack for writing sterling arrangements, addictive hooks and subtle details. furthermore, 'the orchard's impeccable sequencing and scant running time (the album runs just under the 40-minute mark) hits an aural sweet spot that will inspire spinning this album over and over again, each listen revealing some new blossom, fruit, or lovely flying insect that you hadn't noticed before. 'the orchard' treats listeners to bassist mathieu santos' instantly-hummable 'massachusetts' and cellist alexandra lawn's 'you and i know' - an album highlight that recalls tusk-era fleetwood mac. with their trusted soundman, andrew maury, co-producing the final recording sessions, the group felt all the more comfortable in realizing 'the orchard's rich timbre. the final mixes by death cab for cutie's chris walla and vampire weekend's rostam batmanglij bring the album to full bloom.
