- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Ra Ra Riot's debut full-length, The Rhumb Line, was released in the summer of
2008, and it brought with it some beautiful and sparkly ruminations on the
fragile things in life (namely life, death and love), much critical praise,
and the kind of success that's measured not just by sales (although 65k US
album scans and 130k US track downloads is nothing to sneeze at these days
for a brand-new indie artist) but by appearances on Letterman, Ferguson, and
Conan, plus performances at Lollapalooza, All Points West, and the Sasquatch
festival.
After spending much of the summer and fall of 2009 alternately touring the US
with Death Cab for Cutie, headlining their own packed shows, and retreating
to a country property in upstate New York to write and record, the band
announced this summerΓ TMs upcoming arrival of their new album The Orchard on
the eve of a 2010 appearance at the prestigious Coachella festival.
Anticipation is feverish for new music, and the new album is an incredibly
self-assured step for the band, delivering both hook-laden pop jams like
first single "Boy" and the new-but-familiar-to-live-audiences "Too Dramatic"
and ruminative slow-burns like the Anton Chekov/Kate Bush-inspired "The
Orchard" and album-closer "Keep It Quiet."
