Arbor Green
Arbor Green new project from singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ali Begg share 2nd single and title track from forthcoming album As We Grow along with accompanying video for the track.
Recorded at home and featuring guests that include drummer James MacKintosh (Shooglenifty / Transatlantic Sessions / Kaela Rowan) and singer Hannah Fisher (Idlewild / Roddy Woomble / King Creosote). Of the track Ali explains “The song draws deep on the tradition of Scottish indie-folk pessimism, exploring the boundary line between the apathetic paralysis of a bad bout of depression and the fight or flight impulses of a spaced out panic attack”. With sumptuous guitars and harmonies, As We Grow breezes through with a composed charm while delivering a satirical take on the daily grind of listless reality.
For the accompanying video filmed on a cold day on Portabello beach near Edinburgh Ali quips: “if you’re going to take a dip in the North Sea in January you either have to be much hardier than I am or extremely desperate to feel something new!”.
