Arthur Ahbez - Gold

Finding solace in the ethos of Jazz, Folk, and Psychedelic movements of the 1960s, many such artists played a part in shaping his own song writing inclinations and musical outlook.
After parting ways with his first band Welfare Mothers, Arthur found freedom in building sounds on his own expressions which reflect his understanding for honest, versatile music.
His penchant for DIY recording was blessed with an 8 track tape deck, found under a pile of flannel shirts this marked a two year long writing and recording process for his recently released, acid folk debut album, Gold.
