Arc in Round is the band of producer/engineer Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War on Drugs), a Philadelphia-based 4-piece focused on making layered space-rock songs with a bit of pop sensibility. The band’s Facebook page aptly describes the outfit:
“The band spins out carefully crafted dark pop—taut yet spacey, noisy yet melodic. Humming bass, shuffling drums, glitchy keyboards and dissonant, pedal-treated guitar all melt together into an iridescent sheet of sonorous reduction, and you can still tap your foot to it.”
AiR released a self-titled LP earlier this year, their first full-length album following a couple of EPs, which includes performances by Kurt Vile, Chris Ward and others. The band will be playing shows with Invisible Things and Frightened Rabbit over the next couple of months (tour dates and album artwork below). Snag an exclusive Benoît Pioulard remix here, along with two other excellent tracks from the LP.
