Impossible to define as any one genre, Arundel is a highly creative, entirely unpredictable, and completely unique sounding project based in Brisbane, Australia. Arundel’s history reflects an ongoing diversity and creative prowess. He has performed and recorded with a diverse array of Brisbane bands such as Toy Balloon, Subsea, and Yolk & Pixel, and has collaborated closely with some of Australia’s celebrated rising song writing talents such as Youka Snell (Killbot Kindergarten), Simon Crossley (SKYPILOT) and Kate Jacobson (Texas Tea). "I was reading a while ago about these caves in an area of Israel called Maresha, where they used to dig below the ground to process olive oil - a precious commodity back around the 3rd Century B.C. For me, the last year has been about focusing heavily on projects and refining my own craft - working away in my own cave to produce something special that I'm proud of. Of course, the sacrifice for anyone who works hard at their passion is that it isn't easy to leave your cave and be there for the people close to you. A lot of my friends have been in a similar place and so Olive Caves pays homage to the positives that come from hard work - whatever your passion." Lucas Arundell The subtle hooks and songs of Arundel are infused with beautiful soundscapes, electronic treatments and raw emotive energy. Inspired by bands like Massive Attack, Bonobo, and soundtrack/orchestral composers such as Jon Brion and Jon Hopkins, Arundel uses an elaborate combination of digitally programmed, traditional and classical instruments, the experience in sound is unbridled, engaging and utterly unique.
