: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Overcoming rebuffs and rejections, Arc Iris has become an :,
: unstoppable force out of necessity. On Icon of Ego, :
:' vocalist/guitarist Jocie Adams, keyboardist/sample artist Zach ':
,: Tenorio-Miller and drummer Ray Belli have crafted a vividly :,
: expressionistic new album that reflects both the groupÆs protean :
:' talents as well as its journey of survival. ':
,: :,
: Soon after its self-named 2014 debut on the ANTI- label, Arc :
:' Iris faced considerable adversity. Critical acclaim, tours with ':
,: St. Vincent and Jeff Tweedy and festivals like Bonnaroo :,
: followed, all creating for Arc Iris the belief that they had :
:' beat the long music industry odds. However, the group lost its ':
,: manager, followed by its booking agent, then was dropped from :,
: the label. Band members departed. Opportunities evaporated. :
:' Within two years, Arc Iris self-released Moon Saloon, in the US ':
,: while British independent record label Bella Union released the :,
: album in Europe. Arc Iris assembled its own promotions team and :
:' booked its own shows. Notable is what Arc Iris has achieved ':
,: completely by itself: tours supporting Kimbra, Gene Ween, a :,
: complete re-imagination of Joni MitchellÆs Blue performed at :
:' WashingtonÆs Kennedy Center, and a growing, international fan ':
,: base that has remained dedicated throughout. :,
: :
:' Icon of Ego finds a happy middle with a smaller label, a more ':
,: focused support team, and a stronger, more experienced band. :,
: Recording at ProvidenceÆs Columbus Theater, home to silent :
:' movies and vaudeville during the 20s, the band has evolved into ':
,: a concentrated pop-prog explosion, mixing styles with disparate :,
: elements that captivate and surprise. :
:' ':
,: With heavy synthesizer work by Tenorio and Adams, and seemingly :,
: impossible transitions executed effortlessly by Belli, the songs :
:' on Icon of Ego carry a thick, analog electronic sound that ':
,: harks back to the 70s. Presiding over these are AdamsÆ powerful :,
: vocals that house the energy under pop forms. :
:' ':
,: Arc Iris is never more self-defined than when faced with :,
: difficulty. Icon of Ego is about Arc Iris overcoming adversity :
:' and ultimately coming out leaner, sharper, and more vibrant. ':
,: :,
: Following their releases on Anti- and Bella Union, Icon of Ego :
:' is their Ba Da Bing debut. ':
