General Strike Anniversary
The Lost Arc by The Achievers

The Achievers
The Lost Arc
(Freehouse Records)

THE ACHIEVERS’ life-enhancing approach to music-making draws on elements of gospel, blues, Americana and Southern Soul to create a heady hybrid.

Those innovative charms illuminate this eagerly anticipated follow-up to the Stroud band’s highly regarded 2018 debut Live at the SVA, with the vast majority of the tracks recorded live in the studio over a couple of days earlier this year in an attempt to recapture the spontaneity of this fine outfit’s rabble-rousing live act.
