'Soft Reactions In The Sun' is the debut of Orchid Dealer, via enmossed. The LP is filled with this humidity, manifested compositionally, tonally, and emotively. The material exists in a diffuse focus, staring down a scorching street, finding solace in the shadows of a palm tree over a sidewalk. Clean wooden floors and marijuana wafts through rooms where the lights don’t turn on because the windows are wide open, overexposing the scene.

With these recordings Orchid Dealer helps you smell the ocean, gives you a hint of breeze on your shirtless skin, and is the flip-flop clacking against your heel and the ground. You head over a bridge with your hand acting a visor for your eyes, and a bell jingles from a gated glass convenience store door.

'Soft Reactions In The Sun' feels like you are in the interstitial space of listening, living, and adapting to humidity, and the Sun. Some music exists to inspire growth and change. Here, Orchid Dealer grants you the privilege of pausing and observing, of radically supplanting yourself in the present.” - Words by Nick Klein
