John Dwyer's Bent Arcana group unveil new single "Misanthrope Gets Lunch"

The group, made up of John Dwyer, TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone (modular synths), Ryan Sawyer (percussion, drums, vocals), Peter Kerlin (bass), Brad Caulkins (saxophone), Tom Dolas (keyboards), Marcos Rodriguez (guitar), Laena "Geronimo" Myers-Ionita (violin), Joce Soubiran (tenor saxophone), and Andres Renteria (percussion), released their debut single "The Gate" earlier this month.

Ben Arcana are back today (25 June) with a second taster of their forthcoming self-titled debut album, in the form of "Misanthrope Gets Lunch".

On Dwyer's Bandcamp page, he writes of the group and "The Gate", "This is the first interstellar transmission from five days of electrified & improvised sessions recorded at Stu-Stu-Studio, edited down to 40 minutes for your earballs. Bent Arcana is the inceptive chapter in what I hope to be several releases showcasing these types of off-the-cuff musical compositions. So you can try your fry on and turn off. This one is very much on the ECM / 70s hard fusion / prog-kraut tip. It is a many pronged weapon, swung by the spontaneous sentinel."
