When you find a band who you love as individuals, who you love musically, who are committed to touring and working to get their music heard by every living, breathing human being, you just hope that you might have the opportunity to work with them. Today, Greater Than Collective is ecstatic to announce that on August 19th, we will release Ark Life's debut album, The Dream of You & Me.
One year old and 120 shows in, garage-soul upstarts Ark Life have toured coast-to-coast, sharing stages with Of Montreal, Gregory Alan Isakov, PHOX, The Moondoggies, The Head & the Heart, Mount Moriah, Ryan Bingham, J. Roddy Walston & the Business, Ha Ha Tonka, and more. A mile high rock&roll ocean - equal parts mischief, humor, and heartthrob - they pull as much inspiration from contemporaries like Heartless Bastards, Elvis Perkins, and Sallie Ford as from the band's enduring loves for Leonard, Aretha, The Band, and the classic campfire singalong. Ark Life recorded The Dream of You & Me with producer Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats), and we at the Greater Than Collective will move mountains to make sure as many people as possible hear this album we love.
