Syd Arthur (UK)

This four-piece band from Canterbury makes music that is really hard to classify: their music is remarkably fluid in its style and production.

Their record On An On (2012) displays folk and world music with influences from jazz and dance rhythms. Opening song First Difference boasts a Local Natives energy and singing styles together with the virtuoso (plucking) violin playing of Andrew Bird. Wanna hear the sound of Syd Arthur for yourself?
