Matchless Years

Darla is proud to offer the fifth new record from Aarktica, the pop/rock/experimental group lead by New York's Jon DeRosa featuring Mascott's Kendall Meade and Drum Corps' Aaron Spectre as well as other musicians known for their own work. As with previous records Matchless Years was recorded by Charles Newman at Mother West Studio, NYC. On Matchless Years Aarktica embraces the spirit of the best works of brethren Jesus And Mary Chain, Spiritualized, and Magnetic Fields, as well as a progression toward "dark disco" and a meshing of 1950's vocal pop sensibilities atop Aarktica's established atmospheric sound. The tradition of moody pop aural heroin has never sounded so comfortable. Matchless Years is by far Aarktica's strongest and most accessible work to date and is sure to gain them new fans.
