Deafheaven, Hundred Waters members & Danny L Harle form ALTO ARC, share debut song

Deafheaven's George Clarke, Hundred Waters' Trayer Tryon, and PC Music associate Danny L Harle have formed a new group together, ALTO ARC, whose self-titled debut EP will arrive February 11 via Sargent House. The first taste is "Bordello," a creepy industrial pop song that kind of does sound like the exact middle ground between all three members' main projects (which is to say, it sounds very cool).

It comes with an equally creepy video, directed by Elizaveta Porodina (who also designed the EP artwork, pictured above), who says, ""I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this video. Telling this story felt like opening an old book and uncovering a sinister fairy tale. An eerie vibrating presence fell over the rooms we built up, and it felt like oscillating from one dark world to another. It's a privilege to witness such rare and magical moments." George Clarke adds, "Working with Elizaveta to see her vision through was wonderful and I couldn't be happier with how beautifully this song was interpreted and captured."
