Dark Arc (With Bonus CD of Album)
Anti 87293
Released on April 1, 2014

Saintseneca, a young band from Columbus, Ohio led by singer-songwriter
and multi-instrumentalist Zac Little, release their ANTI- debut Dark Arc on
April 1st. While the group formed in Columbus, a majority of Saintseneca’s
members, including songwriter Little, hail from the rural hills of Appalachia,
a landscape that has infused the group’s evocative music with a deep sense
of introspection. Following in the footsteps of heartland bands who have
sought to twist the music of the old weird America into new shapes – from
the Violent Femmes to Neutral Milk Hotel – Saintseneca perform songs that
sound familiar and utterly strange, all at once. As an introduction to the band,
ANTI- released a 7” single featuring “Uppercutter” this fall, a haunting song
anchored by throbbing acoustic guitars, atmospheric piano and Little’s soaring
vocals, which quickly became a press and indie retail favorite. Now with
Dark Arc, Saintseneca deliver on Pitchfork’s promise of “a sonic fullness
Saintseneca only hinted at previously.”
