Orchin is the LA-based project of Jeremy McLennan, described by The Fader as a hybrid of “shoegaze, Cocteau Twins-style dream-pop, and new wave.” Launched in late 2016, the band has since released a string of singles and played with acts such as DIIV, Hatchie, Tamaryn, and Model/Actriz. After a year-long performing hiatus to focus on recording, the band recently relaunched their live act with a fresh set of songs from their debut album, due this summer. The new material marks a progression in McLennan’s sound, taking cues from pop, acid house, and country, and drawing inspiration from artists like Duster, Gram Parsons, and Arthur Russell. Orchin’s first single from their album will be out this July.
