Anthemic, stirring and vehemently raw, the brand new single Self Help from Melbourne quartet Banks Arcade is a powerfully resounding sonic pivot, out now via UNFD.
Following on from their earlier 2024 EP, DEATH 2, Banks Arcade once again rewrite their own destiny with Self Help through nuanced instrumentation, hazy electronic hues and chest-thumping choruses amplifying vocalist Joshua O’Connell‘s beseeching delivery. Self Help also finds Banks Arcade channeling their heavier tendencies into potent modern alternative rock, armed with a poignant lyrical message at its core.
Accompanied today by a brand new music video, Self Help kickstarts yet another engaging chapter for Banks Arcade, showcasing the group’s ever-growing multi-faceted appeal.
Speaking on their latest single, Banks Arcade share: “Self Help was inspired by a tough time surrounded in a lot of doubt and I imagined having a phone call with my self in 30 years to talk about how all this ends. The song is an honest and vulnerable conversation with the self and it finds resolve in forgetting about outcomes and pursuing what you are called to do regardless of where it ends up.”
