Each of its tracks is inspired by the works of science fiction author Isaac Asmiov. Think intelligent post-rock with nods to Talk Talk, Radiohead, and Idlewild.
They have a full band show at Hug & Pint on 6th September.
The latest single is Orchid.
Frontman and lyricist Tom Stearn introduces the song saying: “In much of the science fiction works of Isaac Asimov the creation of a parallel universe set in the future serves as a tool to explore forward thinking ideas but also to focus our attention on our present.
“Orchid is set between present and possible future, reality and fiction, and is the song from Arrows which is closest to our own current reality and is set in the moment when humanity is forced to abandon earth, now polluted and uninhabitable because of radioactive substances.”
