ARCADEA – Arcadea / VINYL LP

Arcadea was born out of Core Atom’s fascination with the questions of what our solar system will look like (and also sound like) 5 billion years from now, or roughly 22 galactic years. All human life is long gone in our solar system, replaced by a synthetic race of intelligent robots called the Arcadeans. To add to the fantasy/magical realism, celestial bodies throughout the solar system have gained sentience. The band Arcadea seeks to set this scene to music. Core Atoms, the minds behind the concept, decided to use synthesizers and keyboards, as well as voice distortion, to capture a distant, alien, and robotic-sounding future. To fully realize his vision, he recruited two of his longtime friends, Brann Dailor (vocalist/drummer of Mastodon) and Raheem (bassist of Withered), to play drums and keyboards, respectively.
