Ra Ra Riot went to an old farm house to work on their followup album to “the Rhumb Line”. They noshed on a ripe peach orchard and it’s quite possible that said fruit had provided some type of inspiration for the new album. Ra Ra Riot’s “The Orchard” reads like a who’s who of indie music production. The new album was produced by Ra Ra Riot and Andrew Maury and mixed by Chris Walla (with the exception of “Do You Remember,” which was mixed by Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij),Look for “the Orchard” August 24th on Barsuk Records.Watch a preview of new material below off of the new album.
