He also does a show with Sharon and Ozzy called \u2018The Osbournes Want to Believe\u2019 where he plays them spooky video clips of ghosts and UFOs and Bigfoot in an attempt to convince them it\u2019s real and plausible. A lot of it is bollocks obviously but some of it is pretty compelling and left me thinking \u201cOK well if that isn\u2019t a ghost, then what on earth is it?\u201d.

The pair met Ben at college, bonding over a mutual disinterest in the course they were supposed to be studying, with Isaac joining a little later after a chance encounter at a New Year\u2019s Eve party. Initially writing down-the-line post punk as a four-piece out of bedrooms in North Leeds, the band first entered the public consciousness in 2016 and quickly developed a reputation for their captivating and dynamic live performances. In the year or two that followed, the band did their best to strip the paint from the walls of most of the venues across the city, with relative success. After the purchase of a pawn shop synthesiser in early 2018 they quickly realised there weren\u2019t enough hands for the job and Sammy joined, making up the current quintet and enabling the band to develop a more complex and expansive sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A DIY ethos is at their core, with the band championing their Northern origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mid 2018 they moved into a redbrick terrace in LS6, with the main criteria for the property being: does it have a basement? Within a week the damp, underground room had been transformed. Large egg trays acquired from a nearby hotel were crudely glued to the walls as make-shift soundproofing and the floors covered with carpet cutoffs. This gave the band a space where they could truly forge their own sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often with no stand out lead melody, Treeboy &amp; Arc are a sonic example of \u201c<em>the whole is greater than the sum of its parts\u201d<\/em>. Made up of meandering, interlocking guitar melodies propped up by a sturdy, yet intricate, rhythm section that often just won&#8217;t quit, plus synthesisers will make you wince with dissonant pads before punching you in the stomach with a driving arpeggiator sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band pits pop songs against avant-garde, kraut-punk noise to see which elements come out on top, perfectly setting the scene for abstract tales of disillusionment, loss, ill health and the occasional Bob Mortimer obsession. Typically spoken word-esque vocals are spat atop these vivid soundscapes with the vocalists choosing to prioritise lyrics and feeling before melody and harmony. Though often dark and sinister sounding, you don\u2019t need to listen hard to hear the tongue-in-cheek wit and cynicism in their deliveries that is so often associated with the North of England.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two successful single releases via Leeds\u2019 own Come Play With Me Records and London based record label Speedy Wunderground, it was decided the next project would be a debut album. Despite many advising a couple of EP\u2019s or Singles would be more beneficial, Treeboy &amp; Arc chose to ignore this and instead do things their own way, quickly booking in studio time in Meanwood. It took less than four days to record the album in November 2019, recorded in a live fashion with each track blending seamlessly into the next, in an attempt to mimic their frenetic, non-stop live shows. Then, just as talks began on how to release the record, a global pandemic hit, putting everything on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the feeling that it would be counterintuitive to release the somewhat \u2018live\u2019 album without being able to tour it, they instead worked on a new 4-track EP, sending demos back and forth to each other during the lockdown until they were able to get back into the studio. A process very alien to a band that usually writes as a group in a dimly lit room. The result of this was their 2021 EP\u00a0\u2018Life Preserver\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward a year and the album that the band had once felt so proud of, now felt dated. Songs that had been written two, three, even four years prior no longer represented who the band were or how they sounded. Keen not to cut corners, the decision was made to re-record the album. In the months that followed the band focused on experimenting, writing new songs and rearranging old songs, all from the confines of a new, yet equally damp, rehearsal space shared with friends and fellow Leeds musicians Van Houten.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the winter of 2021, Treeboy &amp; Arc were back in the studio to begin work on what they were already referring to as \u201cAlbum Two\u201d, despite the fact the rest of the world never actually got to hear \u201cAlbum One\u201d. Despite opportunities to record in other parts of the country, the band felt it important to keep things homegrown and chose to work alongside seminal Leeds producer Matt Peel, who has worked on the likes of TRAAMS, W.H. LUNG, Eagulls, Pulled Apart By Horses, Heck, at his studio The Nave in Stanningley.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album however seemed destined to never be completed with work grinding to a halt after just the first session tracking drums, as Isaac got COVID. Things were hastily rebooked and a couple of weeks later the band were back in the studio determined to make good progress, but it was not to be. James got it next, though this time perhaps providing a saving grace as he had just boldly claimed he could \u201ceasily\u201d run 20 mph in a pair of crocs, a ludicrous statement that could now conveniently not be tested. Needless to say, things didn\u2019t stop there as each one of the sessions was prematurely curtailed or interrupted by at least one of the band or Matt contracting the virus, making progress slow. The band limped on though, recording what they could with the members available to them and after 10 days in total and many lateral flow tests, \u201cAlbum Two\u201d was eventually finished and their debut album was finally ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, Treeboy &amp; Arc signed to Leeds based Clue Records (Bored At My Grandmas House, The Wedding Present, YOWL), who recently announced their partnership with EMI North, and are finally gearing up for the release of their debut album Natural Habitat out this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Natural Habitat&nbsp;<\/em>is Treeboy &amp; Arc\u2019s most ambitious release to date. With the opportunity to really experiment in the studio with Matt Peel, the songs recorded became darker, harsher and more brutal sounding than any of the original demos the band had recorded themselves. With two singers and two lyricists, the meaning of each song feels completely separate from the last. Each song has its own story and meaning, from anxiety to the supernatural, whether disguised by cryptic language or told as \u201cmatter of fact\u201d, the album discusses the full spectrum of emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treeboy &amp; Arc have received praise from BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1, So Young Magazine, DIY Mag &amp; CLASH + more.
