Calm Down

"I would say that I always imagined songwriting a s what I wanted to do with my life," says Caleb Campbell, who records as Ari Roar. That pure belief in his calling receives rich affirmation throughout Ari's debut album, 'Calm Down",. With intuitive powers of clarity and concision to the fore, Ari draws on 1960s pop and modern DIY heroes for a set of lovingly languid, lo-fi miniatures, where depths of detail and lived experience bustle beneath effortlessly melodic surfaces: sure signs all of a writer in confident command of his pitch.
