I've raved a bit about the new album from The Orchids and you can't blame me for that, can you? I mean, Dreaming Kind is absolutely superb. It's so good that I might dare say it's as good if not better than some of the band's seminal recordings on the Sarah Records label from decades ago. James Hackett from the group kindly sat down for an interview with us here at the site, and now I'm here to share a new video from the band.
"I Never Thought I Was Clever" is a bright tune, one which has an easy melodic momentum about it, and it's catchy as heck. It's one of the highlights of the Dreaming Kind record for me. The video is entertaining, not least because we get to see The Orchids in action in 2022. I feel like an old indie nerd going on and on about this sort of thing, but Dreaming Kind really is something special indeed.
