"Sky cries rejuvenation"
Pan Arcadia is a New York City rock band formed in 2017 by Dylan Kelly (guitar) and Eamon Rush (vocals), downtown natives studying music at NYU Steinhardt, who rallied a few old friends and cut their teeth playing the club scene from Bushwick to Harlem, recording and releasing their demos in summer 2018. Now gearing up for their debut single, they’ve picked up Jesse Malin guitarist, Derek Cruz as their producer, and Coldplay mixing engineer, Michael Brauer.
‘After the Flood’ is a meditation on growing up in the existential shadow of climate change. While on the surface jadedly mocking conventional ‘thoughts-and-prayers’ politics in lines like “the captains say we’ll make it if we pray”, the verses read Rush’s earnest confession on the guilt of humanity destroying planet Earth, though hidden between rhymes and tongue twisters. Dualities between sincerity and sarcasm, truth and subversion, spirituality and nihilism offer a window into the anxious experience of 2020. “We’ll go through limbo”, the chorus echoes; “Bon Voyage”.
