Wild Orchid Children recently signed with New York-based Equal Vision Records, who will release The Wild Orchid Children Are Alexander Supertramp this November. Half of the album was recorded with beloved local sound engineer Tom Pfaeffle shortly before he was fatally shot, with the remaining tracks finished up with Pfaeffles engineers and mixed by Red Rooms Chris Common. Its a stunning piece of work, shot through WOCs wildly imaginative, kaleidoscopic viewpoint and their signature mix of sky-scraping hip-hop screeds, rock bombast and percussion-driven dirges. Look for these kids to finally break on a larger scale in 2011. With Past Lives, Triumph of Lethargy, Strong Killings. HANNAH LEVIN
