Landslide

Description

Following on from releasing one of the most exciting 'rock' records of the last few years in 'Melancholia Hymns' (2017), ARCANE ROOTS return with a very special, brand new EP called 'Landslide'. The EP consists of 3 reworked and reimagined tracks taken from the bands 'Melancholia Hymns' album, stripped back, taken apart, smashed back together, melted down again and sown back up with love.From ARCANE ROOTS front man, Andrew Groves - "It's rare for us to be able to show another side of a story, to re-tell it in a new light or illuminate layers or facets that were previously just nuances. Records can take a great deal of time and require many moving parts to align before release, so when the opportunity arose to record an addendum to Melancholia Hymns, we leapt at the chance. When we finished writing Melancholia Hymns it felt as though we had only just become fluent in a new language, one that had both expanded our vocabulary and our appetite for it's application. During it's creation, Melancholia Hymns became so burdened with ideas and desires that we had to exercise a great deal of restraint as to which components we felt should rise to the surface. Understandably, it was then with great satisfaction that we re-opened the doors to those buried elements to reveal a little more of the hard work within the record."The EP ALSO has a brand new track 'Landslide', which may be the bands greatest and grandest composition yet, and a song that was premiered last night (Sunday 17th June) on the Radio 1 Rock Show as its Rockest Record (track of the week).Live;Sun-Jun-17 - Download Festival, Paris - FRANCESun-Jul-8 - Metropolis Festival, Rotterdam - NetherlandsWed-Jul-11 - The Forum, Tunbridge Wells (HEADLINE)Thu-Jul-12 - 2000trees Festival, CheltenhamFri-Jul-13 - Sub 89 Festival, ReadingFri-Jul-27 - ARTmania Festival, Sibiu - RomaniaSat-Jul-28 - Eier Mit Speck Festival, Viersen - GermanySat-Aug-4 - Open Air Granichen, Granichen - SwitzerlandSat-Aug-18 - ArcTanGent Festival, BristolSat-Sep-8 - Rocked Up Hooten
