A personal, reflective album, ‘For That Which Now Lies Fallow’ signals Che Arthur’s willingness to share and deal with his internal demons, perhaps hoping to inspire any troubled listener out there. An obscure and fiery record, the album builds its unique identity over a sea of garage and hard-rock stylings, the perfect settings for Arthur’s gritty, anthemic vocals, pretty lo-fi and noisy in their livery.
Emerging from Chicago, Che boasts a wealth of industry experience spanning post-hardcore bands and electronic endeavours, all expression of his creativity and wide artistry. We are certainly not new to it, hence we appreciate what ‘For That Which Now Lies Fallow’ has to offer. It feels like a confirmation of a project that’s growing release after release.
Reiterating the personal take on the album’s lyricism, Che explains: “I’ve learned that one of the few things I can do to help keep myself above water mentally is to leave my house and play my songs in front of people. That’s the reason I wrote this album – so that I could get some of those thoughts and feelings out of myself and use the tools I have, which are the guitar and my voice, to communicate them to people.”
