Welcome, J. Alexander!

Orchid Collective is proud to say we will be releasing the debut album of J. Alexander.  Here is “The Ballad of Thomas Wreath”, a sad and mysterious number seeming to take in equal amounts from British folk, Motown, and Sherlock Holmes.  We’re excited.

The elusive vampyre metal band BLACK VAMP has emerged from what one can only assume as the darkness to share a song entitled “Holy Water” with the world.  How convenient it’s Halloween…

Review of Up North, Upcoming Releases

The folks at Captain Obvious gave a kind review of the new Twin Cats album Up NorthYou can read it here.

In the next couple of months, there should be a tape coming by two of our favorite Kansas artists, as well as a Twin Cats EP featuring ambient electronic songs.  Also coming soon are a few poems and artist galleries, which we’re very excited to present.  Keep checking back for all of that stuff.  Check your local thrift stores in the meantime for unique coffee mugs.
