Following the acclaimed debut album, "Everything's Fucked"explosive art-rock collectiveArrows Of Lovereturn with their brand new single, "Toad", out on May 27[sup]th[/sup]via the bands ownHandspun Recordsand on limited edition vinyl and tape viaStrong Island Recordings.
A precursor to their anticipated second album, "Product", "Toad"is a biting anthem of pure grit and emotion reminiscent of the likes ofFugaziandThe Jesus Lizard, with stoner riffs and a recording that stands up to the bands energetic live reputation. The track was produced byMikko Gordon (Thom Yorke, Gaz Combes), in the studio he built himself at Goldsmiths University, and mastered byBob WestonofShellac.
The 5-piece led by co-writersNimaandNuharecently found themselves backed by the UK'shighly competitivePRS Momentum Music Fund. Afteraccepting an invite fromCMJ Music Marathonthe band confirmed a string of US dates, followed by a headline London show withParallel Linesbefore the recording of their follow-up could finally begin.
Arrows Of Loveare, above all, a live phenomenon. Originally aligned with the early East London wave of bohemian rock bands, it was their fiercely independent and creative drive that has taken them across the globe, to the likes ofSXSWandEnd of the Road,to sharing stages with the likes ofBuzzcocks, British Sea Power, 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The King Bluesand many more. It's on stagewhere London's ownArrowstruly hit home.
Now, gearing up for the release of "Product"the band are set to prove themselves the real deal. Drawing comparisons to the discordant, emotive musicianship ofSonic Youthto the raw power ofMcClusky,this second LP sees a band fully diversified, ready to release something truly unique.
