On Icon of Ego, : :' vocalist/guitarist Jocie Adams, keyboardist/sample artist Zach ': ,: Tenorio-Miller and drummer Ray Belli have crafted a vividly :, : expressionistic new album that reflects both the groupÆs protean : :' talents as well as its journey of survival. ': ,: :, : Soon after its self-named 2014 debut on the ANTI- label, Arc : :' Iris faced considerable adversity. Critical acclaim, tours with ': ,: St. Vincent and Jeff Tweedy and festivals like Bonnaroo :, : followed, all creating for Arc Iris the belief that they had : :' beat the long music industry odds. However, the group lost its ': ,: manager, followed by its booking agent, then was dropped from :, : the label. Band members departed. Opportunities evaporated. : :' Within two years, Arc Iris self-released Moon Saloon, in the US ': ,: while British independent record label Bella Union released the :, : album in Europe. Arc Iris assembled its own promotions team and : :' booked its own shows. Notable is what Arc Iris has achieved ': ,: completely by itself: tours supporting Kimbra, Gene Ween, a :, : complete re-imagination of Joni MitchellÆs Blue performed at : :' WashingtonÆs Kennedy Center, and a growing, international fan ': ,: base that has remained dedicated throughout. :, : : :' Icon of Ego finds a happy middle with a smaller label, a more ': ,: focused support team, and a stronger, more experienced band. :, : Recording at ProvidenceÆs Columbus Theater, home to silent : :' movies and vaudeville during the 20s, the band has evolved into ': ,: a concentrated pop-prog explosion, mixing styles with disparate :, : elements that captivate and surprise. : :' ': ,: With heavy synthesizer work by Tenorio and Adams, and seemingly :, : impossible transitions executed effortlessly by Belli, the songs : :' on Icon of Ego carry a thick, analog electronic sound that ': ,: harks back to the 70s. Presiding over these are AdamsÆ powerful :, : vocals that house the energy under pop forms. : :' ': ,: Arc Iris is never more self-defined than when faced with :, : difficulty. Icon of Ego is about Arc Iris overcoming adversity : :' and ultimately coming out leaner, sharper, and more vibrant. ': ,: :, : Following their releases on Anti- and Bella Union, Icon of Ego : :' is their Ba Da Bing debut.
