Che Arthur, known for his work as a touring sound engineer with esteemed acts like Silversun Pickups and Bob Mould, sets sail on a dark and turbulent musical journey with his latest single, “No Harbor,” released this Feb 16.
As the first single from his upcoming album, For That Which Now Lies Fallow, Arthur dives deep into midlife crisis as a musician surrounded by the novelty of youth. Influenced by the raw intensity of bands like Husker Du, Unwound, and Dinosaur Jr, “No Harbor” embodies a visceral energy that reverberates with Arthur’s own reflections and struggles.
The song unfolds with gnarly fervor, propelled by thumping drums and gritty guitars that carve through the air with relentless force. Arthur’s raspy vocals, laden with emotion and conviction, cut through the sonic landscape, delivering poignant lyrics that resonate with themes of isolation and existential crisis. The standout line, “there’s no harbor here for ghosts like you,” encapsulates the haunting essence of the song.
Arthur’s fourth solo album marks a return to form, following ventures into electronic projects. Recorded amidst personal challenges like cancer, heartbreak, and desolation, For That Which Now Lies Fallow is transparency and authenticity out of wraps.
For Arthur, music isn’t just a creative outlet—it’s a lifeline. Listen to “No Harbor” by Che Arthur for whom music is a means of surviving and thriving. Come be guided by Arthur’s crashing and receding waves of sound and of life.
