Arthur C. Lee creates visually pleasing videos mostly comprised of lovely shots of nature to accompany his singles. The video for The Storm features kaleidoscope-like footage reminiscent of vintage educational science films, and the songwriter appears in the video for Pay Your Respects among a projected cloudscape between soothing scenes on beaches and in forests.
I’ll Take My Chances is the newest single from Arthur C. Lee’s new 7” vinyl, paired with his previous single Pay Your Respects due August 13th.
Don't Want My Life To Be Like That is a triumphant dirty pop anthem about surviving one's own celebration of self destruction in the impending doom of modern death culture.
Arranged and orchestrated by founding member Daniel Riddle, King Black Acid's Rainbow Lodge is a collective of Portland Oregon musical magi, including Local Roots 2020 songwriting contest winner Jonathan Moore from Streetcar Conductors on keys.
