ASSORTED ORCHIDS (LTD WHITE GATEFOLD VINYL)

White Vinyl LP.
Assorted Orchids is the debut recording of
35-year-old Massachusetts native T.
McWilliams.
Recorded in the Autumn of 2020 at Wonka
Sound Studio in Lowell, Massachusetts,
Assorted Orchids' self-titled debut album
consists entirely of steel and nylon-stringed
acoustic guitar inspired by the ornate and
intricate yet rhythmic and pulsating
finger-picking patterns of Mississippi John Hurt,
Donovan, and Nick Drake. Additional
instrumentation is kept to a bare minimum and
vocals are up front in the mix, fragile but
forceful, delicate but precise. With a total
running time just shy of 30 minutes, the album
was designed and sequenced like a short story:
a pure distillation of a single mood. As Pete
Seeger would say, it's "sit-down music".
Whale Watch Records (Mariee Sioux, Bingo
Club) is proud to present these first ten songs of
Assorted Orchids. It is music best paired with
driving alone at night or sitting in a circle with
friends, drinking, smoking, and talking. Don't
forget to dim the lights.
