Arch The : XII - CD Arch The : XII - CD  Ref: 22284 The Arch - 12 times unknown. You do [not] know The Arch and that's exactly their strength! The band has a new album out "XII" and nobody knows that either. Four friends started to make music more than 30 years ago and today they are still friends who still make music, just for fun. Perhaps very naive but with a heart for music.

They are quite popular in Germany, England, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy. In England they are called "the best kept Belgian secret". In Belgium they are hardly known. A forest ranger, a video director, an art director and a booking agent, a strange combination that works. Their songs are dark, romantic and pure. New wave as it used to be but contemporary. The rhythm is slower, the topics are up to date...

‘Yoga Noise' about how unhealthy it is to live healthily, ‘Dark Room' about a life without light and how your senses feed your worst thoughts, ‘Phantom Chase' about the eternal search and pursuit of your archetype. ‘Cadaver Synod' is again about the absurdity of religion – and represents a much appreciated cooperation with Blaine L. Reininger (Tuxedomoon). And the music is sensual and passionate.

Our question to you: listen to the music and let it touch you. And don't tell anyone else…
