“When a jovial, drunken, swooning sailor fell inlove with a southern-belle gospel beauty they birthed Arcadio – music that gets ya right in the junk.”
In the middle of a post I was writing for Swedesplease about the find of the century (a full album download of Billie The Vision and Dancers’s new cd) I stumbled upon my own find of the century. It’s the new ep from San Francisco based carnival side show folk-rock band Arcadio. The new ep, Jodie, their first, is available in a limited run by emailing here – band@soundsofarcadio.com.
The title track, “Jodie”, with it’s gypsy violin intro and raspy pirate vocals is an instant classic in the yet unrecognized genre of “noirish-circus-gypsy-folk”.
