There’s something romantic and cinematic about adopted New Jersey (via Norway) songwriter Luke Elliot’s third album, Let ‘em All Talk (Icons Creating Evil Art) over and above the wistful storytelling. ‘I (Who Have Nothing)’, all film-noir meets spaghetti western vibes with its orchestral flecks, feels torn from an as-yet-unwritten Tarrantino follow-up to Django Unchained, or perhaps the lead single to the debuting next James Bond, while ‘William Tell’ could have been one of the musical interludes from Black Mariah’s club in Luke Cage (Netflix version).

Arcane is streaming “Keeping Stone: Sound on Fire”, off their two part debut album Known/Learned, out now via Sensory Records, here.

Produced by Sam Vallen (Caligula’s Horse), ARCANE’s massive, dual-part conceptual masterpiece, Known/Learned, delivers sixteen expansive tracks resulting in two hours of music; the first movement, Known, with a more traditionally-oriented progressive rock performance, and the second, Learned, a lighter, more acoustic/folk inspired path, both coalescing a central storyline.

The recordings were mastered by Troy Glessner at Spectre Mastering in Seattle, and the album’s cover art provided by Chris Stevenson-Mangos. A generous crowd funding campaign supported by passionate fans, organizations and fellow bands helped ARCANE produce Known/Learned, yet as the album was seeing completion, the band crossed paths with New Jersey-based progressive label, The Laser’s Edge, who now officially releases the album in North America via its Sensory Records imprint, and will follow suit in Europe on February 13th, in a deluxe 2xCD digipak and through all digital outlets.

Stream “Hunter, Heart & Home” here and “Instinct” here.
