Che Arthur Describe This Present Moment

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.

Likely to interest fans of Sugar, Jawbreaker, The Replacements or early Afghan Whigs, 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.

Arthur is a touring sound engineer by trade who has toured with Silversun Pickups, Bob Mould, Battles, Minus The Bear, Manchester Orchestra and many more.

After tracking drums at Electrical Audio with engineer Brian Fox, Arthur tracked the rest of the album himself in Rapid City, SD, St Louis MO, and his home studio in Chicago, then mixed it at home...
