Various Artists - Boring Ecstasy: The Bedroom Pop of Orchid Tapes

Stream Orchid Tapes’ debut vinyl compilation.

boring-ecstasy

This year has seen a number of small labels reach new heights. Earlier this year, Cascine released the beloved Yumi Zouma EP, and soon after Double Double Whammy put out Frankie CosmosZentropy record, both of which have exceeded their expected praise up to this point. Maybe the stage has always been set for small labels to discover these incredible pockets of potential, but there’s still something truly unique with the consistency of every Orchid Tapes release.

2014 might just be the flagship year for the Brooklyn via Toronto label, especially considering that their debut 12″ record, Ricky Eat Acid’s Three Love Songs, sold out in a single night, prompting a reissue several days later. Given the label’s name, Orchid Tapes’ passion for cassette releases won’t fade away any time soon, but their growing ambition for vinyl has become clear this year. The label’s next record is digitally out today and features a number of different projects who haven’t had the privilege of ever being a part of a vinyl release. Boring Ecstasy: The Bedroom Pop of Orchid Tapes is the label’s heartwarming welcome to a community full of endless sincerity. Stream the entire compilation below.

The 12″ record for Boring Ecstasy is currently up for pre-order and is expected to ship sometime in mid-April.
