Los Angeles art-pop trio Arc Iris fuses story-based songs with dense electronic and orchestral arrangements. The group, which began as the solo project of Jocie Adams, formerly of The Low Anthem, includes keyboardist, sample artist, and frequent Jon Anderson collaborator, Zach Tenorio-Miller and drummer Ray Belli. Arc Iris released its acclaimed self-titled debut in 2014 on ANTI/Bella Union. Subsequently, the band toured with artists such as St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The group’s sophomore record, “Moon Saloon,” released on Bella Union in August 2016, represents a natural progression from the first album’s whimsical explorations and energetic diversity. Following the release of “Moon Saloon,” the band toured a complete re-imagination of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’. In early 2018, Arc Iris joined Kimbra on her North American tour and later that year, the trio released back to back records, “Icon of Ego”, on Brooklyn Indie label, Ba Da Bing Records, and “Foggy Lullaby”, their re-imagination of Mitchell’s ‘Blue’. In 2020, just days before the Covid-19 shutdown, the band premiered their most ambitious project to date, iTMRW: A Sci-Fi Ballet which featured six dancers from Providence, RI's HDC Dance Ensemble. In 2023, the band released their fifth record, "We Found Home".
