Arbouretum at the Jam in the Stool Pigeon


Alternative Neate photo to that appearing in the new issue of The Stool Pigeon with review of the Brighton show by Ben Graham. Eschewing the temptation to capitalise on the Baltimore band's recent referencing of Carl Jung, Ben ensures that all future arbourean metaphors applied towards the band are placed in the shade.

"Arbouretum are appropriately named. Tall and fulsome of facial foliage, the four-piece sway gently upon the low stage like a grove of ancient oaks stirred by a powerful north wind. Bowed low over their instruments, they don't move around much, and they certainly aren;t chatty. But beneath their shady bower, guitar lines twine together like roots burrowing deep into loamy soil, extending and sub-dividing endlessly towards some mythic, primal core." 

Ben Graham - see May issue No. 31 of The Stool Pigeon for full review.
