Home Burial

ARBO-RISING STAR Folk music, but make it edgy. ARBORIST’s latest offering, "Home Burial," is a twisted fairytale so deliciously dark, it would make even the Brothers Grimm blush. Hailing from Belfast, this Northern Irish outfit brings a refreshing blend of haunting melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics to the table. Opening track, "A Man of My Age," sets the tone with its brooding atmosphere and introspective rumination on mortality. Lead singer Mark McCambridge’s haunting vocals weave seamlessly through the intricate instrumentation, creating a tapestry of sound that lingers long after the song has ended. But don’t be fooled by the melancholy façade; tracks like "Twisted Arrow" and "Taxidermy" inject a dose of adrenaline into the mix with their infectious hooks and toe-tapping rhythms. It’s impossible not to get swept up in the raw energy and infectious charm of ARBORIST’s music. "Home Burial" is an album that demands to be listened to in its entirety, each track a piece of a larger puzzle that slowly reveals itself with each spin. ARBORIST has crafted a work of art that is as captivating as it is complex, a sonic journey that will transport you to another world. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let ARBORIST serenade you into the night. You won’t regret it.
