Arliston have just dropped their new indie EP ‘The Ground Might Disappear’.
The captivating lead single ‘Camomile’ is everything that Arliston have now become, and through the production expertise of Bo Morgan, they have created a beautifully present and experimental dosage of alternative pop, packed full of the finest of details that make the biggest of differences.
Jack’s ethereal vocals take to the fore once more in this evocative masterpiece, giving an answer to people wanting that culmination of The National, Bon Iver and Daughter. A song that will resonate with many, the lyricism is damning yet pertinent, referring to a relationship that breaks down over time with a partner, “Wreathed in smiles, with nothing to say. Once we needed nothing but talk and tea.”
Speaking more about the release, Arliston explain:
“Experimenting with different time signatures finally paid off with Camomile- the verse is in 7/8 and the chorus flips to 4/4 for that ‘resolution’ moment, which feels super satisfying to us”
“As a result of the different time signatures in the song, Camomile has this tidal ebb and flow to it that we find really beguiling”
“Originally, it was an attempt at making a light-hearted song! It didn’t quite pan out that way, but I think there are still some fun, insincere moments in there”
