In this edition of POSTBURNOUT.COM Interviews…, Charlie Abbott, the vocalist and guitarist of the versatile Dundalk post-funk quartet Arco Arena, discusses the background of the band and their influences, the ten-year process of building up to their recently released debut album “Ties,” how the band has changed in that time, the four-year gap between the album and their previous single, the darker sonic direction that “Ties” brings the band towards, their songwriting process, lyric writing with ambiguity, how his time as a DJ expanded his musical taste, the Louth music scene, and much more.
