Statues Black Arcs Rising (Green & Red Splatter)

Black Arcs Rising is the third full length album from the Swedish power trio Statues. It's the kind of indie punk-rock that you would expect to hear in a damp venue in the midwest during the late 80s, right before Sonic Youth or Hüsker Dü walked up on stage. It's simple, impulsive, eccentric, and just wonderful. Sweet melodies with just the right amount of melancholic undertones - Black Arcs Rising is the kind of album that sounds as good on the dance floor of a rock club as it does on a rainy day at home.
