Orchard Mason drops brand new single

Tulsa-based newcomer Orchard Mason brings a sound that sits somewhere in the overlap between reflective folk storytelling and modern electronic pop. Working as a songwriter, producer and mixer, Orchard has built a musical identity based in emotion and memory, creating songs that lean into melancholy while still carrying an accessible melodic pull.

His work blends electronic folk pop textures with reflective lyric writing, often drawing on feelings of nostalgia as well as relatable emotions and experiences. His songs frequently explore sadness and reflection through a folk-influenced lens, pairing simple storytelling with enveloping production, often framed as a shared emotional space, where listeners can recognise fragments of their own experiences. Last year he made his official artistic entrance with the debut single “I LoveYou,” which he followed up with a further two songs alongside various remixes and alternative versions.

That steady flow of releases helped introduce listeners to Orchard’s blossoming sonic world, where electronic elements sit comfortably beside organic songwriting, balancing modern textures with intimate lyricism, allowing melodies to carry emotional impact without losing a sense of warmth. Now Orchard Mason returns with a new single titled “Throw A Brick (A Pride Anthem),” a track that moves his storytelling into a broader social context.

The song arrives as both a statement and a reflection, exploring themes of civil rights, equality and the ongoing fight for the freedom to love. The origins of the song began with a simple prompt; a close friend once asked Orchard to write a song using the phrase “Sometimes You Need To Throw A Brick,” which he approached as a metaphor for the moment when silence gives way to courage. That idea led him toward the legacy of the events at Stonewall Inn in 1969, a moment widely remembered as the spark that ignited the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Opened by the flutter of elegant piano notes and commanding vocal leads spinning delicate melodies carrying defiant lyrics, the arrangement builds with the steady forward motion of clapped rhythms before expanding with swelling instrumentation and belted vocal leads. With powerful vocal lines soaring above the shuffling of punching drums and crunch of lightly gritty guitars which injects rock energy, the track rolls with invigorating rhythm and instantly catchy songwriting.

Written specifically for Pride 2026, “Throw A Brick (A Pride Anthem)” ultimately reflects Orchard’s belief in the power of expression and through the song, he offers a reminder that voices, whether whispered or shouted through anthemic choruses, remain one of the most powerful tools in the pursuit of equality. At once memorable and meaningful, “Throw A Brick (A Pride Anthem),” sees Orchard Mason serve up a spectacular musical moment that’s sure to win over fans around the world.
