Everybody's darlings du jour, the beyond wonderful psychedelic guitar pop outfit
Arches from Philadelphia, recently asked lo-fi genius
Julian Lynch if it was alright to cover
Travelers, one of the best songs off his
shortlisted effort
Mare from last year. Apparently it was, and here is the outcome - staying true to the original, Julien Rossow Greenberg and Tom Herman Jr. managed to add some of their distinct flavors, gently lifting some of Lynch's muffling haze to brighten the song with their splendidly swirling guitar textures, coming up with a deeply compelling result.

Also, help Arches to put their debut full-length
Wide Awake on vinyl, a marvelous concept album "about a character who lives alone in a city". The guys still need a couple of dollars to make it happen, so head over to their
Kickstarter page to donate a few bucks. Meanwhile, stream the whole thing on
bandcamp and listen to/download my favorite track
This Isn't a Good Night for Walking below.
