Have a
good look at Arcticband at this stage of their careers, before the sheer
energy of talent propels them to heretofore unknown heights of media adoration.
Do we hyperbole, no indeed not. Just listen to "Be all My Only" & those
of doubt will be won over forever We
could easily spend our entire review flaunting the extreme majesty of
this single in itself. This type of song is the kind of tune that United
Global Artists is always looking for like a prayer
Articband based alone on this one cut are to many an estimation, one of
the best things that we have ever heard. This song is like a prayer to
those of us who fathom the power & majesty of an act like Arcticband;
In their blatant ability to pull all of the production & compositional
stops that warrant an over the edge of the precipice regard for their
musical vision
The amalgamation of a solid fluid rhythm section augmented by superb chromatic
changes of guitars & synthesizers is a wonder-send, to those of us hungry
for some real substance & futuristic stance in the world of post modern
popular music Kate
Leduc's vocal abilities, stylistic range & nuance are of dreams made.
Her effortless abilities of lyrical subterfuge & power, without over-expounding
are the rare instance for a vocal & image generating chanteuse that she
is. Fred Leducs's guitar & compositional underpinnings are a mark of open
suspended electric conscience genius. Coupled with the on the moment punctuation
& insight of Anthony Scaff, it becomes overtly apparent that Arcticband
incorporate a plethora of talent within their ranks. To ice the cake,
Graeme Kent is as fine a bassist that one could imagine; Articband hum
a nuance of sonic-altruism that is a true experience that is profound
in its audio scope What
are we really saying ? This Australian band is utterly great. They deserve
every accolade that the international media has the insight to provide
Cuts such as "Blue Eyes" show with it's acoustic guitar overtones & subtle
valentine melancholy, that Arcticband simply exhibit an extremely high
concept & deliverance of songwriting, production & intent upon every cut
that they shine forth onto the uninitiated "Imagination"
is what Arcticband process & possess, more than most acts. This funk-rock
cut drips like candle wax with allurement & sauve.It is intrinsic to their
down to earth attitude & working ethos When
you see a band as good as this, not achieving the due recognition that
is so deserving; One then starts to contemplate how gifted & talented
bands with pure-smarts in craft & artistic integrity do not immediately
rise to the top of the heat of the best Indie bands out there. But of
course, we'll not get into politics at this time
Arcticband are not only Australian Superstars in the making; They are
world musical giants. Judging from their keen ability to produce their
wares, There is no stopping this band except for themselves. Words cannot
really convey how good this band is in our estimate. Just listen to the
music & the mood of Arcticband & you will for not one moment be disappointed
by their stunning pop sensibilities |
