YUKON INDIE-FOLK BAND THE AUGUST ARRIVAL SHARE LEAD SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM HILLSIDES OUT ON OCTOBER 11th
Yukon indie-folk band The August Arrival shares their melodic and emotionally charged new single “Camped Out” out now on all digital streaming platforms.
Led by Yukon songwriter and vocalist Sara MacDonald, The August Arrival is a solo project supported by friends, incorporating live and recording contributions from an array of musicians who slide in and out of the lineup. Sara was working on her Masters while working on their forthcoming new album Hillsides (out on October 11th), so many of her thoughts and readings at the time were psychology-based, which is apparent in the lead single “Camped Out.”
“The song ‘Camped Out’ was inspired by a podcast about someone using neurotherapy to get over an ex-partner,” says Sara. “This resonated with me, capturing how people, ideas, and thoughts can consume us. Writing this song allowed me to explore my tendency to overthink and obsess while acknowledging the strange comfort that comes from hiding within those fixations.”
Described as “well composed, intimate, even mystical folk rock,” The August Arrival unearths something profound within the listener. It conjures up a personalized sentiment that keeps you returning for more. Their upcoming album release Hillsides will resonate deeply with fans of intimate indie folk-rock, drawing inspiration from Postdata, Blind Pilot, and Manchester Orchestra.
