The Arcs’ danauerbach and Leon Michels are reviving their rock and soul supergroup for their first album since 2015, made in tribute to late bandmate Richard Swift. 'Having Richard leave gave us even more drive to want to finish it,' said Auerbach.
he term “passion project” gets tossed around a lot, but in the case of The Arcs—the indie supergroup led byAfter getting together in 2015, The Arcs released just one album:, a loose, soul-inspired record that felt like five music-obsessed friends nerding out and noodling around in the studio .
“Honestly, it’s like five complete studio rats,” Auerbach says about their dynamic. “Everyone’s producing in the group, so anytime you want to step back, there are four other people who are perfectly capable of running the ship. It’s just non-stop flowing, people getting in and out of the way. You’re constantly checking on each other’s stuff, pushing each other to be better all the time, having fun, laughing about shit, making fun of each other. It really just greases the wheels in every way.
Auerbach agrees: “Everything was art all the time. We’d be staying in a hotel and he had those funny screwdrivers that could take off the hotel screws. And he would take the pieces of art off the wall and he’d draw his own art behind it and then put the painting back on over it. He did that almost every night, all across Europe.”
“A few years had gone by after Richard passed away and I slowly started randomly sending songs from the Dropbox,” Auerbach remembers. “Like, ‘Oh, check this out, haven’t heard this in six years. Listen to this, this thing’s almost done.’ You know, ‘Why did we put this dumb thing on here? If we took this off, it would be finished.’ That kind of thing.”
“I think what we had with The Arcs was really this very joyful thing. Because it was just friends in the studio, having fun,” Michels says. “And then the stuff he did, like [, on the other hand, is a little brighter, a little looser. It’s not without its melancholia , but it’s playful and fluid and confident; a result of doing what they wanted and chucking the rulebook out the window.
