The Orange Peels

"Allen Clapp believes in the curative powers of pop music the way someone going to Lourdes is betting on a miracle; his faith in the stuff is so strong and compelling pretty much anyone willing to give him a listen is likely to become a convert."

"Ever been on vacation with The Flaming Lips? Been on an interstellar trip with The Beach Boys? It might be a little something like listening to The Orange Peels' latest, Circling the Sun. If you are hooked by the sweeping catchiness of The Doves or the sunnier songs from early on in Radiohead's career, you will take quite a liking to The Orange Peels. They make songs for paradise, but maybe a paradise thats orbiting the planet and primarily hangs above the West Coast and anything further south or equally utopian. They are dreamy, spacey, dazzling, and shamelessly playful."
