As if forever earthbound yet staring at the stars in reflection, the track somehow brings to mind the sparkling pop of The Beach Boys with the dour and witty lyricism of Morrissey. Its sensuous, rippling shape is intricately carved with instrumental flourishes and addictive melodies that remain with you long beyond its short run-time. It embodies the immediate appeal of Liam Singer’s sunnier compositions, contrasting wonderfully with the haunting atmosphere of previous single ‘<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=48&amp;products_id=234">Nine Ten</a>’.

‘Unhand Me (You Horrid Thing)’  is available as a free download from the <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=48&amp;products_id=243">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and can be streamed in full over at the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/liam-singer-unhand-me-you">Hidden Shoal SoundCloud</a>. <em>Arc Iris</em> is available now in limited edition CD and digital formats (including lossless) and previous singles 'Stranger I Know' and 'Nine Ten' are also available for free download.

<em>“Singer’s exceptional command of melody, compositional form, and arrangement are on full display, and the performances are first-rate, too. Arc Iris is forty-three minutes of music guaranteed to make you swoon”</em> – <strong>Textura</strong>

<em>“a uniquely experimental approach to pop music…. His music has the stately and cerebral sides of modern composition, not to mention the beauty and grace, but also an intimacy and directness”</em> – <strong>PopMatters</strong>
