Ra Ra Riot announced this week that they will follow up their debut album, The Rhumb Line, on August 24 with The Orchard, due on Barsuk Records. They also revealed that the new album will be “so poppy you will want to throw up on yourself.” No seriously, that’s a direct quote. The Orchard was mixed by Chris Walla from some unknown band called Death Cab For Cutie, with assistance from Rostam Batmanglij, who is some other unknown band called Vampire Weekend. Maybe for their third album, Ra Ra Riot will actually be able to get some notable musicians to mix their album, jeez!
