Don't let them fool you. Arizona are not from Arizona. They hail from Brooklyn and ended up in North Carolina, where they recorded their new album Glowing Bird. Having explored folk rock on two previous EPs and a full length, this collection of songs are a little rougher, with occasional feedback creeping in. They kept the layered vocals and their signature dry drum sound.The members of Arizona...
Arizona is a Brooklyn via Asheville, NC band that I've been following since I fell in love with their first album Welcome Back Dear Children.

Arizona has given us exclusive access to a handful of b-sides made during their time recording The Glowing Bird in Asheville, North Carolina. Not only did the quirky town provide them with the comforts of a terrific studio, it swept them away on a strange journey through the rolling mountains of a Carolinian estate. With friend/filmmaker Nick Fiore hanging around while they recorded, a short...
In the past, we've enjoyed in-studio time and have locked fantasy football horns with the band Arizona . I'm a fan and enjoyed the once-through I was been able to give the new album. Plans to delve deeper are of course in the works. The band will be releasing this new album, Glowing Bird , next week (October 14th) on Echo Mountain Records.
