The new album from Syd Arthur is Apricity and it is out out on 21st October via Communion.
This is Syd Arthur's third album –and the first to be released on Communion. They had Beck’s guitarist Jason Falkner in the producer’s seat so, the album is highly anticipated.
“It does feel that the mainstream has moved in our direction,” nods Liam. “People got fed up with boring indie. We just followed our instinct, and felt this was the most forward-looking, current thing. But entirely naturally we have been adjusting – honing the tunes so we’re not just seen as being a jam band.”
“For the new album, before we even went to America, we worked through 18 or 19 songs over three different stages of demo recording,” adds Josh Magill (drums). “We’ve pulled in a lot of ideas and influences, into coherent songs, and we’ve spent a long time crafting things...”
Beyond that, the band comprises of three siblings – Liam, Joel and Josh – and one mate with his own family musical heritage (Raven’s dad is photographer/poet John Bush, his aunt is Kate Bush).
