Lush, melodic, rocking, and haunting. MacArthur features the inimitable songwriting and guitars of Arthur Winer. The band's amazing first CD (available through Amazon.com) features searing Neil Young-ish rock guitars melded with smooth vocal harmonies. MacArthur has been compared with David Bowie, the Velvet Underground, Simon & Garfunkel, Elliott Smith, Big Star, Brian Wilson, Neil Young, Beck, Belle & Sebastian, and many others. The songs contain elaborate and unusual orchestration, including cello, wah-wah guitar, classical guitar, celesta, organ, synths, and more.
