arbes – Austin Town Hall

Beautiful New Piece from Arbes

Well, contrary to the date, it’s not quite Fall here in Austin, which makes this track from Arbes pretty perfect; it fits somewhere between the sunny playfulness of summer and the breezy afternoons of early Fall. I love the steadying hand the band employs, carefully moving guitar lines over rolling drums. It’s got this internal joyousness that only arrives upon repeated listens, which I highly suggest. I have a feeling that their new Psalms EP will be the perfect way to move between seasons…not to mention a wonderful way to pass any afternoon; look for its release on October 7th via Sports Day Records.

Nice To Meet You: Arbes

July 30, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

Arbes is a trio of youngsters making some interesting pop music out of Australia. I know very little about the band at this point since they are so fresh on the scene, but I do know the music is speaking to me today. Many will hear the enchanting female vocals on a song like “Beach Side” and immediately compare the band to the likes of Beach House. Though it’s fair, the band also add in these tricky little guitar parts to give everything a more upbeat and groovy vibe. Stay tuned for more from this young trio as they plan to release their debut EP on cassette this Friday via London’s Sports Day Records.
