Westinghousing.

Albuquerque, New Mexico dude Ryan Gabel's one man lo-fi psych pop project Arc Light had been on my radar since my pals over at Ashtapes had introduced his music in late August, but he only very recently regained my full awareness when the impeccable Rose Quartz folks told us about Arc Light's new album Westinghousing which was put up to his bandcamp roughly two weeks ago. Moreover, it turns out that Gabel has relocated to Brooklyn since the first time I've encountered him, and on the western shores of Long Island he has written and produced most of the songs for his sophomore output. Needless to say, those new tunes absolutely live up to the promises Gabel made with his self-titled debut effort. Arc Light might be bedroom music in the true sense of the term, considered that every single sound was recorded by Gabel himself via Garageband, but this doesn't prevent the tunes to be very well crafted and a highly enjoyable listen. Soon, we're gonna hear even more new stuff by Gabel in the shape of his other project Rage City, which is him doing the vocals over Tony Bonanza's instrumentation, another splendid lo-fi dude who we had on these pages back at a time when everybody was still talking about the World Cup.

Enough said, listen to two of Westinghousing's tracks below, and make sure you download the whole album over at bandcamp for a very reasonable amount of money. Also, don't miss Arc Light's first ever video, made for the song Flashes Of Hell (7 Suns) from his debut album.
