The Arthur Brothers began life as a recording project and quickly grew into an artistic
alliance centered around the biological brothers Matt and Danny Arthur and the
producer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist J. C. Wright. Their music is inspired by
a mutual obsession for inventive song-craft and a cross-generational love of classic
albums with dramatic, bold and intriguing productions. Driven by a devotion to the
recording process and a passionate desire to make a record full of mystery, melody,
diversity and depth - the Arthurs and Wright, along with a coterie of talented
contributors have been on a long and challenging creative expedition.
The Arthur Brothers’ second release is a song of icy emotion and heartfelt soul
searching about the complexities of broken love and human fallibility. The regretful
and remorseful narrative plays out with Matt Arthur's tortured, distorted vocal set into
a mountainous and cinematic backdrop of dark majesty that conjures up images of
Himalayan vistas and arctic landscapes. Cavernous drums, moody pianos, visceral
guitars, and the ominous drones of accordions, harmoniums and drunken trombones
all punctuated by the haunting backing vocals of J. C. Wright and Danny Arthur.
Imagine a polygamous marital breakdown involving the likes of Sparklehorse, Scott
Walker and Mercury Rev and John Barry, The Waterboys and Spiritualized set on
the icy stage of a jagged glacier field.
