Arctic Lake are an ambient / alternative band based in North London, who met and formed a year ago while all were studying together at the University of Westminster.
After 12 months of what they describe as "painstakingly conceiving our own unique sound, creating sensitive melodies, powerful riffs, and anthemic choruses, all of which are united by an elegant, yet haunting female vocal", they digitally released their debut single ‘How Long Can You Stare’ last month.
With the trend honed by London Grammar, the track opens on a delicate wing of instrumentation and Emma Foster grippingly transcending vocal, before building to a passionately sonic force on drums and percussion.
It's an impressive entrance, and if Arctic Lake have more in the bag of similar quality, with the right exposure they could just have struck the right note.
Listen to ‘How Long Can You Stare’ below.
Arctic Lake are: Emma Foster - vocals; Paul Holliman - guitars; Andy Richmond - drums, percussion.
