Download Now: Arches' Chill Concept Album


I'm not sure how strong your concept is when you've got to outline it for your audience, but I'm digging the dripping-reverb tracks on Arches' Wide Awake LP.

"This is a concept album about a character who lives alone in a city. Mundane routines drive the character to flee the city and become a drifter. The character’s perspective of reality becomes convoluted with memories and current travels to the point where the character becomes unable to decipher past and present experiences," wrote the Philly duo on their Bandcamp page.

I haven't had enough listens to judge how well each song strings that theme together, but "Headlights" is a hazy standout and the rest is just as good.
