Then Maciej Śmigrodzki (Thaw) came to replace him and we even managed to play some concerts supporting Nadja and Mamiffer\", recalls Rumiński. \"A couple of our tracks got released as part of cassette split with Stara Rzeka and Innercity Trio but at the end of 2012 ARRM went on a hiatus so that we could concentrate on other projects. It lasted until March 2016 and brought some personal changes – we welcomed back Rafał Miciński, Maciej Śmigrodzki switched to keyboards and drummer Michał Leks joined the band\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"ARRM\" was recorded in Maq Records Studio under the supervision of Haldor Grunberg (Thaw). \"We managed to record the whole album live during one weekend\", says Rumiński. \"Before entering the studio we only had two demo versions of 'Pinewood' and 'Grave' but those were scrapped in favor of the newer ones. If I were to find a common ground for those five tracks I would point to an obvious lack of haste that allowed us to concentrate on specific sounds\", he adds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instant Classic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56922833617278,"sku":"CLASSIC052CD","price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/arrm_1500.jpg?v=1771536677"},{"product_id":"arrm-lonker-see-split-cd","title":"ARRM \/ Lonker See - Split CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFebruary 17th 2017 may be a coincidence but think again.

It contains 4 brand new tracks that expand band's psychedelic sound, merging influences as diverse as spiritual jazz and modern electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Of course there are some similarities with our debut album but we're keen on trying new things, including new instruments such as straight bass,\" admits Artur Rumiński (guitar). \"Majority of our new music is the outcome of improv sessions we held in our rehearsal space. After coming up with some riff ideas we built more complex musical structures and played around with them until we decided that we reached our common goal,\" he adds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"II\" took 2 years to make, mainly due musicians' other commitments. \"I wouldn't call ARRM a typical rockband and that's mainly due to the way our music evolves outside of what you could call a traditional song structure. We tend to go with the flow, give each note it's due. It requires patience and time. It's a long journey,\" Rumiński explains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In terms of influences, we focused mainly on spiritual jazz from the 70s. I would also add Popol Vuh, folk, afrobeat and of course drone, ambient, dub. We filtered this through our sensitivity and the outcome of this approach can be heard on 'II',\" he says. If you're surprised by this wide range of musical genres then you need to learn that ARRM don't limit their live appearances to your typical rock shows. \"We play various festivals and venues: starting from metal ones up to psychedelic and noise-focused,\" Rumiński admits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instant Classic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56922851017086,"sku":"CLASSIC081CD","price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/arrm_2.jpg?v=1772451377"}],"url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/collections\/arrm.oembed","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
