(2008) ARC is a Canadian trio (Aidan Baker, Richard Baker & Christopher Kukiel), playing tribal guitar drone ambient with psychedelic and post-rock elements and a very hypnotic sound. "Arkhangelsk" was recorded in Toronto, Canada in December 2007 in two separate sessions. The first consisted of improv performances on drumset and guitar. The second consisted of layering percussion, electronics, and woodwind tracks on those original drum / guitar tracks. Both sessions were made in real-time in single takes with minimum post-production editing or manipulation in an effort to capture the spontaneity of the performances. "Arkhangelsk" combines influence / inspiration from such artists as Flyer Saucer Attack, The Boredoms, Tribes of Neurot, and Rapoon. Ltd x 600 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
