Treeboy & Arc formed out of teenage friendships & New Year’s Eve encounters. After moving in together into a redbrick terrace in LS6, they transformed the damp basement into a somewhat rehearsal space where they began to truly forge their own sound. The five-piece are a sonic example of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, with each member working to serve the song - interlocking guitar melodies are propped up by sturdy, yet intricate, rhythms. The lyrics often dark and sinister sounding, you don’t need to listen hard to hear the tongue-in-cheek wit and cynicism in their deliveries that is so often associated with the North of England. Patience is critical to Treeboy & Arc’s art. They recorded their debut album twice, scrapping the first version after deciding it didn’t meet their standards, then focusing on experimentation, writing new songs and rearranging old ones to be re-recorded as what they now refer to as “album 2”. Natural Habitat is Treeboy & Arc’s most ambitious release to date. With the opportunity to really experiment in the studio, the songs recorded became darker, harsher, and more brutal sounding than any of the original demos the band had recorded themselves. With two singers and two lyricists, the meaning of each song feels completely separate from the last. From anxiety to the supernatural, whether disguised by cryptic language or told as “matter of fact”, the album discusses the full spectrum of emotions.
