Some beautiful tracks from Arches dropped into the MMM-MMMP3s inbox the other day. Dreamy, schemey guitar-led indie rock with a sky’s-the-limit sense of orchestration. Lock it in for a rainy day listen, or road-tripping. Stream the tracks below, all off their new album Wide Awake.
Here’s three selections from Wide Awake. The album opener "This Isn’t a Good Night For Walking" flashes glints of Beach Boys harmonies mixed with a slightly-slanted Grizzly Bear sense of ennui. "Every Moment of the Day" starts off as a soft folk lullaby before breaking into the higher climes of a full-blooded ballad. "Behind Closed Blinds" banks on weird background vibrations to sell a sense of skewed pop bliss.
Check Arches out at their Tumblr, Twitter, and catch them Saturday at their Northside Festival showcase! RSVP HERE.
