Ra Ra Riot have announced that their new album is titled The Orchard. It is set to come out on August 24th, via the wonderful Barsuk. The band co-produced the album with Andrew Maury. Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Walla mastered 9 of the 10 tracks. Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij mastered the other song, “Do You Remember”. If you remember, Rostam and Ra Ra Riot’s lead singer Wes Miles worked together as Discovery.
Ra Ra Riot are a stellar band, and the album seems to be in the right hands. I’m ready to let this album comfort me during the late summer months. Bring on The Orchard!
