Review

"As [Arcuragi's] music reminded me of Hayden and Nick Drake upon the first few listens, it hit me that there was another aspect I was missing. Adam takes the songwriting formula of other folk mainstays, but layered underneath are haunting melodies and noises." - IndieWorkshop.com

"[Goes] nuts with references to bones, Jesus and grass. Not for those with an aversion to the mellow." - PHILEBRITY

In an era where it has become popular for singers to take cover behind band name aliases (Palace, Songs:Ohia, Iron & Wine, Bright Eyes), it has become more of a statement when a songwriter sets out with his real name. For Adam Arcuragi, hiding behind an alias would belie the nature of his songs - highly epic and simultaneously sensitive, intense and subtle. Arcuragi's debut full-length is an introduction to a bright new lyricist who combines the icy melancholy of Red House Painters with the classic Americanism of Tom Petty, and the sincerity of Elliott Smith with literature references typical of the Mountain Goats. His unique form of free-flowing introspective lyrics and compelling harmonies are certain to make fans of those who like My Morning Jacket, The Shins, and The New Pornographers.

Recorded in fits and starts over the past three years, Adam Arcuragi features contributions from members of Audible, Mazarin, Bitter Bitter Weeks, National Eye, Matt Pond PA, The Rachel's, The Trouble with Sweeney and Ink & Dagger. A demo version of "The Song the Sinner Sings" was featured on the Urban Outfitters/Filter tsunami relief compilation alongside rare tracks from Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, Franz Ferdinand and more.

Adam Arcuragi's self-titled debut took many years to come to fruition. From recording in a beautiful house in one of the ritizier Philadelphia suburbs, to a failed attempt to record in a historic church, to recording on a back porch, or even a fully equipped studio, each song on Adam Arcuragi has a story to tell. These eleven tracks show a songwriter who has the uncanny ability to convey deep emotion through intelligent, poetic lyrics. Whether writing a simple story about swimming across the Delaware River to camp out on an island, or creating an (unsuccessful) plea to a woman, his songs are simultaneously personal, sensitive, intense and subtle.
