This Friday Arcy Drive will release Beach Plum, a five-song EP featuring previously-released singles “Time Shrinks” & “Wicked Styley.” Produced by Jon Gilbert, it’s a remarkably concise statement from a group of friends who’ve been a band for less than two years. From the bittersweet backbeat heavy rock of “Liquor Lips” to the twinkling contemplation of “Desert Song,” the band covers some serious ground. Perhaps no more than on the track that arrives today with the announcement, “Superbloomer” a sprawling multi-part epic that was only finished last month. Listen below.

“This song came about on the final day of a couple week long trip out to the desert in April,” the band says. “We held off working on it until we had the chance to get into the attic and really jam it out. In September we were home and had a week off of tour, which was our chance to hit the attic and piece it together. We sweated it out in the attic that (that felt significantly hotter than the desert) and then hopped on the bus again with a new song in the set. We adjusted it some more after playing live and by the time we were driving through California (last month) we decided it was time to record it. This is our first desert/attic song lol. Play loooouud and we hope you vibe with it.”
