Arthur Beatrice – Carter

Arthur Beatrice continues to build on what we’ve described as “a shining, shimmering example of coolly detached, progressive and distinctly British indie pop.” Fronted by dual vocalists Orlando Leopard and Ella Girardot and, yes, monikered with a twist on the name of the late Golden Girls actress, Arthur Beatrice fashion headphone music enhanced by the private, pin-drop-quiet surroundings of the studio, you can practically feel the atmospheric spaces between the notes.

Arthur Beatrice – “Carter (Edited Version)” (from the Carter EP)

Arthur Beatrice are: Orlando Leopard, Ella Girardot, Hamish Barnes and Elliot Barnes. Although they have been together for a few years and released their debut single ‘Midland’ last year English indie types Arthur Beatrice are currently getting a lot of attention. This is mostly due to their EP ‘Carter’ being released today but I also think that fact that lead singer Ella Giradot is very easy on the eye also helps.

Arthur Beatrice – Carter Lyrics:
I see the way we coincide.
And it’s nothing more than chance.
If I were on for feeling fate,
I’ll be none for you to trust.
So never tell me that I think of you holding on.

To all these solid bodies sinking me.
They’re far gone!

Living is an open sea and the’ knows my length.
So silent is a stranger’s home when the hour cut me dead.
I’ll never roll away, away of you.
Seems too much!.
I’ll never hate the way I wanted to.
Not enough!

So I come by light.
I know that you’re lying.
And all that I’m waiting for.
The looking in and waiting on.
Just anything, the destine settling.

So ‘ is stating truth.
I feel new,.
We’re leaving’it holds me.
All too hard.
Replacing the feelings so soon.
‘ just like I don’t.
Believe in all I do!

So I come by light.
I know that you’re lying.
And all that I’m waiting for.
The looking in and waiting on.
Just anything, the destine settling.
The destine settling.
