North Arm Releases New Single

The brainchild of Roderick Smith, NORTH ARM, today releases new single ‘Lately’ via Bandcamp, following a heralded debut EP, an anointment as FBi Radio’s Unsigned Artist of The Week in June and a spout of appearance across Sydney’s live music scene over the last year. NORTH ARM follows Rod’s co-founding of Firekites back in 2005, offering his new work an experienced touch to balance his fresh outlook.

‘Lately’ is the first single to come off his forthcoming second EP, LIFE CYCLES, due out in November. ‘Lately’ occupies a more intimate space than previous work, and follows from the tentative beginnings of a relationship to the moment of pure abandon and resolve. Exploring the rites of passage in growth and love with disarming honesty and a tempered sense of nostalgia, NORTH ARM showcases a development into a softer, warping realm. Featuring his signature delicate riffing, ‘Lately’ is a laid back push into beach weather and a forceful push to the heart.

NORTH ARM’s, debut EP, THOUGHT LINES, was released through Spunk Records in April 2013, which included previous single, ‘Hollow Days’. Live shows have seen NORTH ARM enlist the assistance of champion musos Sean Roche (lead guitar), Ianto Ware (bass) and Evan Clulow (drums + percussion). The live team have since charmed audiences alongside the likes of Shining Bird, Jimmy Tait and The Devotional to name a few.

For Sydneysiders, NORTH ARM plays Surry Hills Festival this weekend with more dates to be announced soon.

Sat, 27 Sept //  3pm @ Ward Park, Surry Hills Festival  // SYDNEY
