LOS ANGELES, CA-
“…Opening the evening was Arc Iris, a band that might not yet be a household name but undoubtedly deserves to be. Their music defies easy categorization, blending avant-garde pop, experimental jazz, and electronic psychedelia into a style that feels both innovative and untethered to traditional constraints. Their live performance was a sonic odyssey, with intricate rhythms and floating melodies that seemed to stretch beyond conventional structure. At times, their sound called to mind the otherworldly atmospheres of Flying Lotus—ethereal, immersive, and deliberately experimental. If Arc Iris is the type of act opening for Willow, it signals a commitment to curating an evening that challenges as much as it entertains.
Formed in 2012 in Providence, Rhode Island, Arc Iris began as the solo project of Jocie Adams, a former member of The Low Anthem. Seeking greater creative freedom, Adams joined forces with Zach Tenorio-Miller on keyboards and Ray Belli on drums, crafting a sound that fuses influences from 70s pop, folk, cabaret, jazz, and classical music. Their adventurous spirit became apparent with the release of their self-titled debut album in 2014 via ANTI- Records, a bold artistic statement that earned critical acclaim.
Arc Iris’s performance at The Ford was a reminder of their genre-defying ethos. Their live set captured the essence of their career—daring, unpredictable, and profoundly immersive. For those willing to embrace the unexpected, their music offers an experience that lingers long after the last note fades…”
