Arc Iris

Arc Iris crystallizes the evolution of composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Jocie Adams, a former core member of renowned indie-folk band The Low Anthem. This is a breakaway moment for Adams, who now takes center stage as composer, lyricist, and lead vocalist. Embracing her new role as auteur, Adams has created a genre-bending style that often shifts between cabaret-infused jazz, orchestral sophistication, grimy outlaw country, delicate and whimsical harmonies, and big-band exhilaration – sometimes all in the same song. Hers is an all-together different world where fantastical whimsy goes hand in hand with down-to-earth grit, and where rigorous classical training inflects but never softens the visceral rawness of hard-won experience.

“a deliriously ambitious collection of songs birthed from folk and country traditions, cabaret, jazz and classical, and seventies pop.” - WXPN

“…songs that seesawed between the elfin delicacy of Joanna Newsom and some brassy raucousness” - The New York Times

“Arc Iris is the sound of an artist reborn. The band’s self-titled debut…brims with whimsy and flights of fancy, informed as much by Joni Mitchell as it is by ’70s prog-rock, Björk’s sonic experiments, and sweeping film soundtracks. It’s hypnotic.” - The Boston Globe

“Arc Iris frontwoman Jocie Adams may be floating on the water under the warm moonlight in the video for "Whiskey Man," but her amazing voice is the standout on this track.” - Rolling Stone
