The Arthurs, a Dutch alt rock band founded by singer/songwriter Robin den Drijver. Their tracks form like a river, pulsing with an ever-flowing rhythm, continuous and powerful. And loaded with visceral and raw sonic energy, their soundscapes gain a tangibility. The vivid textures and vibrations rise into us and bind us to itself. Their latest release, ‘The Gloaming’ is a great example of this. Its atmospheric riffs and gliding bass lines smash into us, as suddenly as the dusk descends. They ring with dark glee as if in celebration of the incoming night. Listen Now!

The progressions are extraordinarily expressive. To them, the darkness is not oppressive but a welcoming labrinth. There’s so much happening under the surface, a culture of gloom and psychedelia. It is not murky and ominous but a thriving society of rhythms. They blend the conceptual absoluteness of bands like Nirvana with the hardcore sonic drill of The Doors. A brief streak of acoustics, a phantom light spills between the cracks; a melody that disappears just as quickly. The technique, the power, and the sheer quantum of rock is astounding. If you are in the market for a track that affects you and holds you in its grip, this track is for you.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
