Brighton Orchards are back with news of their upcoming EP Trust Issues, and have shared new single "Drive Me Home" to accompany the announcement.

"Drive Me Home" is the second song to be shared from the band's Trust Issues EP, after last month's "Leave Us Here (We're Fine)", and is teamed with a self-directed video.

The band say of the "anti-love song", "It's that moment when you're out and you see your ex who's wrecked and even though you know you shouldn't help because it ended horribly, you know full well you're going to look after them regardless. It's that moment. That brief moment in time when you care for someone you used to love."

"It's rare we write love songs but the lyrics in this one really resonate with us," Orchards add. "The chorus is the constant streaming of the street lights on that midnight drive, the verses are your inner monologue when you see them across the room and the middle 8 is you convincing yourself that leaving again is the right thing to do. We hope like all our songs you can find some validation in this one, but we've got a feeling everyones been there and experienced this."

Lead vocalist Lucy Evers says of the EP, "2020 has given us trust issues, hence the name of the record. This EP is an angry (yet happy, we’re still on brand!) call out to all the things that have given us trust issues in the last year. We’re not keeping our mouths shut now. I always say I’ll never write lyrics about something I haven’t personally experienced, and at this point I’ve experienced enough in the last year to last me a lifetime."

Tracklist:

  1. Leave Us Here (We’re Fine)
  2. Wrong Shoes
  3. Drive Me Home
  4. Bye, Insecurity
  5. Wonderful
"Drive Me Home" is out now. Orchards' Trust Issues EP will follow on 26 November via Big Scary Monsters, and is available to pre-order now. They'll play London's Signature Brew Haggerston on 12 March 2022. Tickets go on sale Monday (4 October) from 9am BST at orchardslive.com.
