"Atlanta natives The Orphins kick out disco/post-punk set to catchy bubblegum-pop keyboard riffs that'll get you dancing in a hurry and will give fans of Hot Hot Heat, Go Go Go Airheart, or Le Tigre reason to rejoice."
"The Orphins are a part of something larger going on in Atlanta, in general, and are certainly worth checking out."
"...there's a pretty good chance you're going to enjoy Drowning Cupid as much as I have. One of the best albums I've heard this year."
"Drowning Cupid is nothing if not consistently sporadic and tirelessly spontaneous. It is marked by bug-eyed, frantic distortion, tingling guitars, evil curiosities and an unquenchable thirst for fun"
"The Orphins come at you with a bunch of pop quirk that falls somewhere between Devo and Modest Mouse."
"Drowning Cupid, the full-length debut from this Atlanta quartet, harkens back to the glory days of college radio, all the while looking forward."
"The band mixes and juxtaposes styles with ease."

Drowning Cupid
The Orphins are a band flirting with irony. Conscious misspellings, a melancholic sense of humor, familiar, danceable rhythms coupled with complex textures and sounds - and it all changes with the next phrase of music. A bubblegum riff easily transitions into disco dancing, only to dive later into dissonant syncopation. Still, the music is totally self-contained - an Orphins song is instantly recognizable.
