Che Arthur
Now you feel the infinite has gone But you have not rightfully moved on Whether all the maps come undrawn Pulling the anchor with hands you fold Wearing your anger like bands of gold (it never fit the same) and How did it feel without self-control? Call on a stranger to share the sole secret that you hold We are bodies made from stardust Barely leave a trace hung in the air Never tell a soul you lived there Pulling the anchor with hands you fold Wearing your anger like bands of gold (it never fit the same) and How did it feel without self-control? Call on a stranger at sundown We’re at sundown Cover your eyes all night - we’re at sundown Now that you’ve seen the light, we’re at sundown Where the fight bled offsite, we’re at sundown Where you can see in the dark tonight

Describe This Present Moment is Che Arthur's fifth album under his own name. In ten songs the Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/engineer/producer pits the taut, concise punk/indie structures and contemplative acoustic-based textures of his previous albums against heavier moments that call back to Pink Avalanche, the currently "on hiatus" band Arthur helmed from 2010-2020. Moment sees Arthur expand upon his cathartic, darkly melodic post-hardcore work in Pink Avalanche, his previous solo work and as guitarist in regarded early 2000s Chicago quartet Atombombpocketknife.
