The Arthur Brothers
Lovesunk / Single

On the fourth release, ‘Lovesunk’, from their upcoming debut album, you’ll find more sonic genre-spanning explorations and stylistic developments to The Arthur Brothers sound. ‘Lovesunk’ is a beautiful slice of cosmic symphonic pop - a wistful journey into a dense and mystical electronic wonderland reminiscent of MGMT, Flaming Lips, Kate Bush, with shades of Phoenix, Empire of the Sun as well as the ‘The Big Music’ sound of Mike Scott and The Waterboys circa mid 80’s. 

“I think it might be the most unique track on the record” - says Matt Arthur - co-writer and Arthur Brother.  “We were using all of the mad sounds we could find, building up the track around what started out as a Rhodes piano pedaling riff - that was a lot of fun!” 

Producer and co-writer J. C. Wright explains: “It’s a song about unrequited love from the perspective of a subterranean creature whose lover keeps flying away leaving him trapped, earthbound and alone… A sad, yearning song that somehow manages to ultimately sound uplifting and hopeful.”
