Arbes Debut Album 'Counterways' Launch

Arbes launch their long-awaited debut album 'Counterways' (out November 1 through Third Eye Stimuli (AUS) and Earth Libraries (US/EU/UK) at The Grace Darling with Glass & Roland. 

Counterways, exists on the cusp between the ethereal and the more attention-seeking concerns of pop. The record invites listeners into an unusual sonic world of atmospheric depth. Comparisons can be drawn to New York post-punk of a more colourful bent, running Blondie all the way through to Gang Gang Dance. The album's dream-pop dimension brings to mind Cocteau Twins, while its grittier, art-rock moments, coloured with ambience feels akin to Deerhunter. Glimmering flashes of psychedelia channels the likes of Melody's Echo Chamber.
