“This album is the distillation of everything we have been exploring in our music up until now, says the band. “It points forward into a (brave) new world of sonic development for us - in the songwriting and scope of what we are trying to achieve. It seems like only a few weeks back we set off to Los Angeles to record with Jason Falkner at our friend Jonathan Wilson's amazing studio in Echo Park. Recording to 2-inch analogue tape we set about recording the album in this most creative Californian space before returning to the UK for final mixing at our humble studio in Canterbury”.
Syd Arthur is brothers Liam Magill (vocals, guitar), Joel Magill (bass, vocals), and Josh Magill (drums) and Raven Bush (keyboards, strings). Hailing from Canterbury, the band has released three albums, including 2014’s critically acclaimed “Sound Mirror” and earned recognition as a thrilling live act. Syd Arthur has played myriad UK headline shows and support slots alongside such artists as The Strokes, White Denim, Jonathan Wilson, The Pixies, Sean Lennon’s The Ghost Of A Sabertooth Tiger and Paul Weller.
