Ra Ra Riot has always had a frenetic, beautiful way about them... and their sophomore record
The Orchard is shaping up to follow that trend. First single "Boy" is an up-tempo, dense exploration salted with the band's signature strings.
With nine of the ten tracks being mixed by Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla, and one mixed by Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij,
The Orchard is going to be a big step for the band. And the clips sound great. Get excited for the album with this promo vid:
