tag-arcane-roots"> <div class="post_wrapper"> <div class="post_content_wrapper"> <p>2016 was a chequered year for Arcane Roots; although it brought several opportunities to grace new stages and embrace new crowds through opening sold-out shows for the likes of Enter Shikari and Jimmy Eat World, it also tested the patience and proficiency of the London three-piece as they strived to compose a long-awaited second album.</p> <p>Thankfully, as they approach their tenth anniversary as a band, the most dapper gents in tech-metal have bounced back to reveal that their next full-length will soon be conquering your ears and minds.</p> <p>“In hindsight, it’s been fortunate for us in a way,” admits singer/guitarist Andrew Groves, still putting finishing touches on the record. ‘For all the setbacks and problems along the way that you come up against when you’re making a record, putting out the first track and reviewing the response has been quite uplifting and positive.”</p> <p>That first cut, ‘Curtains’, is a track of two dramatically contrasting halves; although its mighty climax takes everything we love about the band and builds upon it with an interstellar intensity, its opening segment throws elegant swathes of downtempo electronica into the frame. Quite literally, it draws the drapes on Arcane Roots’ mindset of old.</p> <p>“You can’t help but naturally compare yourself to other [bands], and you have your aspirations of the band and the musicians that you want to be, but I didn’t want to think in those terms anymore,” Andrew declares. “This album is very much about turning a lot of that off and concentrating on just pushing forward and making it the most satisfying thing it can be.</p> <p>“When we put ‘Curtains’ out, we still had nine other songs to record, so it was great to be able to put that out to kind of dip your toe into the water and then realising that that was fine. ‘Curtains’ is a nice crossfade, and maybe a good introduction to the record, but I wouldn’t give any assurances of familiar ground for any of our fans.”</p> <p>The more chorus-driven contents of 2015 EP ‘Heaven & Earth’ marked a daring departure from the unrelenting mathematic mindfuckery of their 2013 debut album ‘Blood & Chemistry’. That said, the new one, in Andrew’s own words, is the soundtrack to “getting rid of my rock sensibilities” and venturing even further into the synthetic rabbit hole.</p> <p>“We [already] felt like we could do rock music, and the last record we put out was the shiniest, most polished record we’d made,” Andrew sighs.</p> <p>“With the general evolution of the band, we’re not spring chickens anymore. We’ve been doing this for ten years, and we were all kind of aware that we were getting older and maturing, and that any album could be our last. </p> <p>“For whatever reason, we became very enthusiastic about life – I mean, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow! As you get older things change, people move on and die, and I just felt like I didn’t want to waste time.”</p> <div style="text-align:center; line-height: 1.4em; font-family:'Poppins', Helvetica, Arial; font-weight:900; letter-spacing:-1; font-size:2em;">“I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, I just felt like I didn’t want to waste time.”</div> <p>Putting in the hours to join his fans in venturing into strange territories with the record, Andrew began to immerse himself in entirely different spheres of music, predominantly taking influence from electronic and experimental artists such as James Blake, Bjork and Four Tet.</p> <p>Although he claims that making the record “totally changed the way I played guitar”, Andrew put down his primary instrument on some tracks and learnt both piano and violin, as well as playing around with synths and drum machines.</p> <p>“I pushed myself into it, but it’s been nice to be excited about new things as a musician,” he says, before taking a more reassuring tone. “There’s still absolutely humongous riffs, and it’s more technical than it ever was. We still love our riffs in Arcane Roots!”</p> <p>The dabbling with these off-kilter elements on the album, which was recorded primarily at Decimal Studios in Hampton with longtime producer Chris Coulter (Jamie Lenman, Emp!re), is something which has permeated Andrew’s approach – alongside bassist Adam Burton and drummer Jack Wrench – to the full Arcane Roots package.</p> <p>The band may have reached a milestone birthday this year, but as far as Andrew’s concerned, the focus is less on looking back at ten years of achievements and more on making their current lives shows the “most incredible, visceral experience”.</p> <p>“I’ve been very much of the mindset that we make the record, but also [make sure] that the songs could translate in many more different ways. I kind of relish the idea of being able to make something that has a huge orchestra in it, but then play it live with a drum machine and an acoustic guitar.</p> <p>“The theatricality of the live show is something which informed the songs before they had even been written, and so I’ve only promised to care about doing this record and a live show and making something which is worthy of my own attention…”</p> <p><strong>Arcane Roots’ new album is out later this year.</strong></p> <div id="product-component-1e64a2784a9"></div> <div style="background-color: #000;
