From humble acoustic beginnings into an instant demonstration of a classic hook, The Arcadeans capture the essence and uplift of rock and roll, with their poetic and catchy new single Let It Rain.
At first familiar, later slowly increasing the number of qualities that prove unique to The Arcadeans, Let It Rain features a fairly standard and celebratory melody, with raspy vocals and a twist of something progressive rock or medieval-like to the longer form moments.
There’s also a mildly theatrical tone to certain aspects of the set-up, and the backing vocals and instrumental peaks add further warmth to the mix – all of which cleverly contrasts the poetic depth of the writing.
The song’s middle-8 has a rather simple but anthemic feel to it – it’s a moment that allows the sentiments and passion from before to really connect. The band showcase their musical unity within the realm, and highlight their appreciation for the beauty and escapism of instrumental prowess in line with a well-written song.
Let It Rain has it all, in short, feeling both nostalgic but interesting in its contemporary state, and introducing a band with a clear love for the process of writing and performing something real.
