Blue Orchid Reaction – Tiny House

BySaving Grace MusicCategoriesInMusic ReviewsPosted onOn

Blue Orchid Reaction are a 4 piece, indie rock band who play uplifting indie/ pop rock. They are influenced by a range of different genres and artists, and they have been gigging around West Yorkshire for the past three years. Tiny House is a captivating song which starts off gently with colourful riffs and smooth Paul Heaton style vocals and then finishes on more of an aggressive note with heavy guitars and shouty singing. The dramatic shift in the mood and the tempo likely reflects the topic of the song which is about being confined at home during covid and having nowhere to escape to.
