Where the mice of men are chained and bruised, Where
to stand accused is to admit you lose... The Arcs - Lake Superior
I am really digging the new Arcs song Lake Superior. The song was influenced by the Netflix
blockbuster 10 episode documentary Making A Murderer. The show is an up-close, fascinating look at crime, police work and
our court system.
From Consequence of Sound:
"...The Arcs return with new music once again in the form of the hazy, psychedelic “Lake Superior”. The track was reportedly inspired by the new Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, which tells the real-life story of Steven Avery, “a DNA exoneree who, while in the midst of exposing corruption in local law enforcement, finds himself the prime suspect in a grisly new crime.”
In a statement, the band explained how the show gave rise to the song:
“It’s like Billy Childish says, ‘We live in troubled times.’ Last week, we got a sneak peek at what goes on behind the curtains of our criminal justice system. A few sleepless nights later we gathered in the studio and wrote this song. Written, recorded, mixed and mastered in 2 days.”
... All profits from the track benefit the Innocence Project, a nonprofit that helps to exonerate wrongly convicted people through DNA testing."
