Three Acts Not to Miss at the NewMusicWest Fest: ARCTIC, Richard Dorfmeister, Armchair Cynics
ARCTIC: "It's rich, airy, and yes, a wee bit haunting. Just sit back, close your eyes, and let the loops and layers wash over you..."

NXNE 2005:
"I stayed for the entire show and was thankful that so many people suggested Arctic. Had there not been such a strong buzz about the band with the people that I had talked to, I probably would have gone home without ever having heard them. I think that goes to show the power of word of mouth!"
- Brady Dillsworth Blog

NXNE 2005:
"As I sat at the back of The Art Bar watching this performance, I quickly realized that this was the type of performance that I could just lean back, close my eyes, and float on the music... His songs have an ambient folk rock feel to them and are very enticing musically, with the lyrics tending to invoke some beautiful imagery."
