Ark People


Ark People are an artful and skilled bunch. The arrangement of all of their songs is something to marvel at. While listening one doesn't easily stray to other things going on around them. The compelling instrumentals are the first thing that draws you in. 'Song D' starts off upbeat and then when the vocals come in, an up down tempo comes along. The up down becomes a signature of the song throughout the tune. All of their songs have this drawing in quality. They catch you from the first moment you start listening and keep you. Vocals accompanied with the instrumentals are a great match.

Tempo and musicality are a great strength of this band. They seem to always have the perfect mix of instrumental tempo along with lyrics. Everything complements everything else so perfectly. You can tell they are well versed in many different instruments and have been making music for a long time. Their music above all else is unique, after listening you'll remember it. You will be able to name them as the artist every time their songs comes across your path. You will be able to recognize from the first few bars if a new song you're hearing was done by them. After listening one feels satisfied, because in the end it is so much more then just notes and cords, they put a lot of themselves into the music, which makes you put a lot of yourself in while listening. Ark People are classic, and hopefully will be around for a long long time. I personally can't wait to hear what they come up with next.
