Arco Artist Bio

There are three groups by the name of Arco:

1. Arco are a British band noted for unusually slow, quiet, poetic music: a gig review in national newspaper The Guardian suggested “an hour in arco’s company is the aural equivalent of a day in a flotation tank”. Similarly, a review in Q, a UK monthly music magazine, described first album Coming To Terms as “the aural equivalent of a human being pausing for thought as the world speeds on around”.

2. Arco (Antonio Arco) is the former singer from the Spanish band “El Puchero del Hortelano”. Starting his solo career in 2016 with the release of his album “Uno”, he’s been doing music on his own until this day with other albums such as “Abril” (2018) and “100 Veces” (2020).

3. Formed in 2008 by Neil Luck, ARCO is a group of composers, artists and (mainly) string players from a range of musical and artistic disciplines and backgrounds. The group explores experimental approaches to non-standard notation and live performance practice as a starting point for creating bespoke, collaborative music theatre events characterised by an uncompromisingly avant-garde aesthetic, and radical mix of influences from contemporary classical music, magick rituals, concrete poetry, free improvisation, slapstick comedy, Kabuki theatre and Broadway show tunes Read more on Last.fm.
