"With a sensibility that transcends several generations
of rock aesthetic, the Vancouver quintet O&V pours dreamy,
slo-core guitar showers over psychedelic drumming, while
Cindy Tomlinson rides these silvery waves with an assertive
delivery." - Robert L. Doerschuk, StarPolish (former editor-in-chief
of Musician Magazine)

"Cindy Tomlinson puts her lyrics to work, using vivid
imagery to heighten the themes within each song and polish
off the overall surreal quality inherent in each... the
band's musical structure comes to life with streaming,
fuzzed chord riffs, meandering basslines, crashing cymbals,
and the refined use of a classic cello sound... The songs
possess an integrity that would seem to withstand time
and exhibit proficiency toward composure that immediately
sets the band apart from the rest." - Gardiner Rhoderick,

"Tomorrow's
Yesterday is an Awe Inspiring, Masterful Work of Art....
This album inspired in me everything that is important
about music. Brilliant instrumentals and beautiful lyrics,
Tomorrow's Yesterday may very well be a permanent resident
in my CD player. Cindy Tomlinson's cover and booklet artwork
is incredible. If you have the means, go to the official
Orchards & Vines Website and order a copy of Tomorrow's
Yesterday as soon as possible. You won't be sorry. If
you don't, shovel some snow. Cut some lawns. Pawn a couple
of Hole CD's and get a copy today!" - ThurstonX, Upside
Down Radio

"If Jefferson Airplane had been active two decades
later and became low-fi indie rockers, they could open
for Orchards & Vines... a unique and breathtaking blend
of vintage psychedelia, folk ballads, and stirring indie-rock...
Cindy’s voice is deep, resonant, and unmistakably solid
in its delivery." - StarVox

"Opening with the carpe diem flair of the title track,
and closing with the crashing twilight of Turtle Bliss,
I imagine this is what LSD sounds like. Violet may be
the album's pinnacle, an absolutely gorgeous song about
the death of the love of your life. The songs have a Kafka
quality to them; the use of cello accents with the almost
distorted quality of the vocals, giving the album a dream
like feeling." - More Than Just A Pretty Face

"...unlike anything I've heard before. Trippy flange guitars
lead into sheets of dreamy female vocals... Cindy Tomlinson's
euphoric harmonies are that of a siren's call. The works
of the guitar, bass and drum are the perfect cradle for
the floating imagery in the lyrics... O&V bestow a perfect
cohabitation of psychedelia and pop." - Chad Kempfert,

"Stunningly Original. O&V have created a unique mix
of psychedelic rock driven by the vocals of Cindy Tomlinson
and the powerful rhythm section consisting of Ted Koppman,
Elinor Harshenin, Jesse Cullen and Ron Mann. Think Jefferson
Airplane meets Lush. The music is haunting, dense, evocative
and emotional. Having lived with the CD for almost a year
now I find myself returning to it over and over again.
Highly recommended." - Amazon.com customer review
