STORY
Arktik Lake intersects with some of the most prolific exponents of the psych rock and artworIds, with guitars and lead vocals from the sublime Marty Willson-Piper (ex The Church, All About Eve, The Saints).
Written after an afternoon drive on Sydney’s Northern Beaches as summer moved to winter, Autumn Breeze is the 2nd single off our forthcoming album “Ghosthound.” Set against the backdrop of a jangly pop single, Autumn Breeze swerves into uncomfortable “love gone wrong” territory; doubts, remorse and hope swirl into shining glam rock guitars with catchy hooks and vocal harmonies.
Arktik Lake is powered by Nigel Macara on drums with DC on bass, both from the present line-up of the legendary Tamam Shud, as well as me on guitar. Olivia Willson-Piper plays violin and also adds her beautiful voice. Recorded in Midnight Oil’s studio in Sydney, this is our tribute to the best of power pop singles. We hope you like it.
