Artists: ARROWS OF ATHENA (Boston, MA)
Who: A pandemic project that found its two main players – multi-instrumentalist and producer Scott Lerner and vocalist and lyricist Jac-Lyn Gibson – reuniting after the latter spent some time away from music, Arrows of Athena are crafting a distinct sound on
their own terms, bridging usually disparate ends of the pop and rock spectrum for an illuminated sound of big dance beats, heavy riffs, and melodic intensity.

New single: RECKLESS HEART
2nd shared piece from their upcoming debut LP, named
‘The Ghost Archives’ and set for released on April 26 via
Belhaven Records.

On this song the duo explores the mental and emotional work required
for a successful marriage, and how we’re often careless with love.

Jac-Lyn Gibson: “‘Reckless Heart’ is just the kind of song that no matter what genre
you’re into, it just pulls you in right from the beginning. It has some rock, a little pop,
and I’m obsessed with the overall ‘90s throwback sound of it. I’m a ‘90s girl at heart,
and appreciate that Scott’s [Lerner] riffs are a nod to that time in my life. He has really embraced my love for a great pop backbeat while staying true to his own rock music background.”

TUTV: I’m quite sure that Arrows Of Athena are huge fans of former Swedish glam and glitter pop duo Roxette. The bliss and blitz at play on Reckless Heart is sonically similar. Sizzling guitars, battering drums/bass grooves, sensuous vocals and a peppy chorus combine here for a power pop pearl that flames lustrously. Orchestral melodiousness, fiery 90s spirit, and musical. An invigorating joyride.

The accompanying animated video clip is totally impressive.
