The Arch

A forest ranger, a video director, an art director and a booking agent, a strange combination that works. Their songs are dark, romantic and pure. New wave as it used to be but contemporary. The rhythm is slower, the topics are up to date. Yoga Noise about how unhealthy it is to live healthily, Dark Room about a life without light and how your senses feed your worst thoughts, Phantom Chase about the eternal search and pursuit of your archetype. Cadaver synod is again about the absurdity of religion, with the cooperation of Blaine L. Reininger (Tuxedomoon). And the music is sensual and passionate.One album, two formats, two different titles referring to the amount of songs on each carrier. 8 songson the vinyl ("VIII"), all 12 songs on the cd ("XII")Three years after "Fates" (2016) "XII" shows a band that has finally gotten mature, a band with a bright future that doesn't shun it's past.
