About Me

Arctica are Lloyd and Kim. We record songs made up on the spot, with a microphone hanging from a lightbulb. Basically.

On hugely rare occasions, we get the chance to play live with the assistance of Loz and Gammon. When we play live we make it all up on the spot, aided by a few scale discussions. We have a live track on the player from out first ever gig at Cookies 21st. Its not the sharpest, but for the first ever song we played live and made up on the spot, it stands up quite well.

We dont get the chance to record too much anymore, as we live in different areas of the UK nowadays. But it is certainly not finished.

Closing my eyes a window appears, it leads nowhere but I stare at it for an eternity. Im beyond the explainable as I waste an eternity alone.
