Orchid Mantis has been played on NTS in shows including Supporter Radio - Dreams, featured first on 31 December 2023. Songs played include aizu forest.

Orchid Mantis is the bedroom recording project of Atlanta's Thomas Howard. Blending traditional guitar & vocal-based songwriting with his penchant for unusual sample-based instrumentation and lo-fi recording methods, Howard creates intimate experimental pop songs that feel outside of any place or time.
