Search - Arkade :: Story of Hiding

"Arkade?s music manages to be both brainy and gutsy, following an obtuse path only to untangle into something compelling. The trio?s music has a dark, velvety beauty that?rewards with emotional depths and stellar songs." ? The Stranger Arkade?s first full-length release for Lujo Records perfectly embodies the diverse nature of the band?s music. Entitled 'The Story Of Hiding' and composed over a two-year period, it explores the truths behind the truths, the deceptive game of forgiveness, the clarity of reawakening and the hope for a more tender, rich environment. Featuring Climax Golden Twin Jeffery Taylor on the shimmering yet surefooted track "House in December," Arkade manages to tap an incredibly talented guitarist for a performance both stirringly sincere and chillingly bold. Through the deft employment of music boxes, microcassette recorders and various other devices, the album is courageously well balanced, emotionally bent and unapologetically steeped in a vat of dark romance.
