Brighton indie/math-pop favourites Orchards have returned with their third single of 2024. ‘Mug Song’ sees the trio deliver a quirky and catchy number, yet maintains the lyrically darker route they’ve been taking lately.
Lucy Evans’ words focus on themes of lost loves and broken relationships with a hint of nostalgia. “Mug Song is all the intrusive thoughts you have when you know a relationship is ending. Romantic, platonic whatever it may be. All those nostalgic memories that flood your brain. I wrote them all down. All the simple everyday things I miss. Just being alive with someone,” states Orchards‘ vocalist. “It’s the culmination of existing in turbulent environments and not feeling like you can express your feelings out loud.”
‘Mug Song’ follows ‘Sweetie Pie’ and ‘I Feel Terrible’ , released in June and April of this year, respectively. All three tracks were released through Big Scary Monsters.
Orchards will be heading out on a mini tour later this week.
