Harry Harrison It’s no wonder that this album was critically acclaimed; from the first tack it captures your attention and keeps you entertained throughout its entirety. To me they still portray the presence and ambience of Indie legends ‘Built To Spill’. This album has been a constant on my player’s rotation and I’m sure that anyone who is lucky enough to purchase it will have it playing the same amount of air time. It is pretty special. Favorite track: Electric Red.

She’s rolling down, she’s rolling hard So don’t disarm, cause she’s likes guns She shoots to kill, so don’t blink twice She’ll crush your soul, she feels like ice She’s on my mind Please go ahead and call her name She is not your friend, now take the blame Cry out loud, laugh in hard Keep on rolling in the mud She’s on my mind
2.
I need some piece of mind To cope with this The abyss of my reality Just swallows me in hard I’m a scream at night Just a string attached I just wonder why Did the boy should die this way? Now it’s a little late to love him, It’s a little late for love And all have gone way down to shite Now it’s a little late to cry And I say stay, and I say stay Ohhh All these drunken minds Lead to compromise To the apocalyptic era Of our time I need some piece of mind And a touch of love To proclaim a world of misery and endless, hopeless lust Now it’s a little late to love him, It’s a little late for love And all have gone way down to shite Now it’s a little late to cry All these hidden doors, that lead the way They’ll be mine again, they’ll be safe In illusions and enigmas, we shall bathe You’ll be mine again, you’ll be safe

Rabbit Hole 03:54
How deep can you go? Can you trick your mind? Are you deep in the zone? Can you deceive your soul? Would you walk bare footed at the edge of the unknown? Would you drown your heroes? Would you trade your cravings for a glimmer of hope? Would you go? Way down, way down, way down In the rabbit hole Way down, way down, way down, In the rabbit hole Holding on to the thought Thinking that you've won Play me down today Let it take control Would you walk bare footed at the edge of the unknown? Would you lie to save me? Would you trade your cravings for a glimmer of hope? Would you go? Way down, way down, way down In the rabbit hole Way down, way down, way down, In the rabbit hole

Electric Red 02:51
Make it loud make it heard, for our dreams are turning red Make believe that this is fine, shine on don’t act surprised Why don't we go fight them hard, So we can feel as one It makes much sense to act surprised But please don’t ask the reason why Don’t ask me why Save the children, save them first all is bright but make no sense keep on dreaming when things fail its yours its free its great why don’t we go fight them hard so we can feel as one? It makes much sense to act surprised But please don’t ask the reason why Don’t ask me why
5.
Irresistible 03:15
Counting days in time Trying to be in control Spend your loving cash Silence bless us all Somewhere between The drama and the lies I’d like to think we have A simple loving mind Oh how we all feel irresistible x4 Down the broken road You will find us all Don’t caress their hopes Love our absent soul Solemnly abide To all that make you smile All things in between Burn in melting ice Oh how we all feel irresistible x4
6.
Run 04:54
Watch the life we dreamt being gently swept away All the beauty can’t erase the harm we’ve done Just another complication for us to explain All the beauty can’t prevent what follows on Run to save yourself from everything that you hold onto Run to save yourself from you The sense of joy you get is nothing more than a plain illusion Run to save yourself from you Feels like time has tainted every single fray Nor my feelings can explain the pain we feel Just a lack of motivation for us to stay All the beauty can’t erase our septic minds Run to save yourself from everything that you hold onto Run to save yourself from you The sense of joy you get is nothing more than a plain illusion Run to save yourself from you
7.
Afterglow 03:39
You make me feel like the only man alive Loved and caressed by your controlling lies Addicted and free, I'm certainly involveed You make me feel like an empty broken soul Afterglow You make me feel like the only man alive Comes in waves, deserting me in time I can't stand to doubt things anymore You make me feel like a boy you never loved Afterglow
8.
Used 03:47
I guess I’ll give my last breath For you to breath, for you to breath, I’ll haunt your deepest nightmare So you can sleep, Every time you feel like falling I'll take your hand and keep you safe Throw myself into the fire for you So you can be I used to love you but I still do So time, has washed things away And now I know I may at times have failed us, But I’m still there, your silent knight Every time, it finds its way at you I’ll scream my lungs out Live to fight, another day for you So you can be I used to love you but I still do

about

"Arcadian Child are masters at sounding simultaneously cool as a block of ice and hot as hellfire, but the unshakeable pop melodies are the real key to this album’s success"
--- JJ Koczan, The Obelisk (USA)

"The opening few tracks – She's On My Mind, Little Late For Love and Rabbit Hole – offer delicious and dark twisted moments of 60s sounding Psychedelic Pop riffs but matched with a hard-edged Stoner Rock groove. The vocals are one of the main highlights of the album as they have elements of David Bowie running throughout them. [..]
--- Steve Howe, Outlaws of The Sun (UK)

“Τhere are proggish sides that often makes me think of late 70s Pink Floyd, the meticulous production gives a sound ala Foo Fighters, the singing and groove recall the glory of indie rock, with some Franz Ferdinand like energy, or Ghinzu’s masterful on the darker humored songs. You’ll probably hear even more, each of us relating through our personal experience, but that’s what makes this record so catchy! You can only feel at home with this déjà-vu feeling, intriguing you to recognize all these elements..[..]
---- Flyin Caillou - More Fuzz (FR)

"From the phased opening chords of "She's On my Mind", with its catchy vocal melody, right through to the countrified lysergic lament "Used" "Afterglow" is an album that delights and dazzles in equal measure"
--- Frazer Jones, Desert Psychlist (UK)

"Their music is a curious contemporary amalgam of many musical styles, being dark, being Eastern-influenced or flirting with shoegaze or even dare (successfully in my opinion) to engage with Psych"
--- Michail Lagopatis, TimeMazine Fanzine

"Arcadian Child, from Cyprus, is a strutting, twisted psychedelic beauty. Love the squalling guitars, like sirens out over the eastern Mediterranean"
--- SuperWorldIndieTunes (IR)

"Psicodelia sesentera con revisión contemporánea...Es evidente que Arcadian Child gusta de la psicodelia pop, pero no podríamos definirlo como una banda pop, eso sería demasiado simple. La banda mezcla ese origen revitalizándolo con sonidos stoner, guitarras que chirrían, afiladas como cuchillos.Disco para olvidarse de los complejos y muy recomendable para ampliar los horizontes musicales, dejándose engullir por sus sonidos de nueva psicodelia."
--- Roberto Lucas, La Habitacion (SP)

“Disco para olvidarse de los complejos y muy recomendable para ampliar los horizontes musicales, dejándose engullir por sus sonidos de nueva psicodelia. Su una psichedelia di fondo, molto è lo spazio lasciato alla voce, ruggente come tradizione impone ma lievemente effettata nei punti giusti a non suonare datata, come quando si sovrappone ai morbidi riff in odor di Stoner"
--- Maria Pia Diodati, Rockambula (IT)

"En huit titres, le quatuor expédie des tubes en puissance à mi-chemin entre rock psychédélique, garage-rock et énergies stoner avec des morceaux comme « She’s On My Mind », « Rabbit Hole » ou encore « Electric Red. [..]
--- Florian Soni Benga, Les Oreilles Curieuses (FR)

"Con influencias de bandas clásicas del psych de los 60’s como Jimmy Hendrix o Pink Floyd, así como de bandas contemporáneas como The Black Angels o Tame Impala; su primer trabajo muestra un crisol de sonoridades que dejan ver dichas influencias, especialmente las última"
---- Primero Fue El Sonido (MEX)

"Si estás búscando un álbum cinco estrellas, Arcadian Child lo tiene y se llama Afterglow"
---- ZoneKnights (ARG)

"Крепких радио-хитов имеется в обеих условных категориях – альбом хоть сейчас запускай в ротацию любого модного рок-радиовещани"
---- Igor Gorely, Recyclable Sounds (RU)

"Το Afterglow των Arcadian Child ξετυλίγεται σαν ένα κουβάρι που δεν φαίνεται να κομπιάζει πουθενά, ένα κιθαριστικό ξεφάντωμα χωρίς υπερβολές, ένα ώριμο φρούτο έτοιμο για βρώση. Και η γεύση του είναι θαυμάσια"
---- John Kastanaras, Merlin's Music Box (GR)

"Μείγμα ευφάνταστο και σίγουρα ευχάριστο στο αυτί, όπως και αποδοτικό ως προς την «κολλητικότητά» του, καθώς οι guitar-driven συνθέσεις τους δεν θα σας αφήσουν να αλλάξετε δίσκο εύκολα"
---- George Korbakis, Straightonmusic (GR)

"Με τέτοιο groove είναι δύσκολο να τους αντισταθείς όντως “Irresistible”, κιθάρες που δημιουργούν το δικό τους θέμα, ένα μπάσο να δίνει ρυθμό και τα τύμπανα να σφυροκοπούν θαρρείς σε παρέλαση. Η φωνή αντρικά μελαγχολική, σαν να στέκει τολμηρά απέναντι στα πάντα"
--- Kiki Iliadou, RockinAthens (GR)
