The long-lost album from one of Olympia's finest forgotten bands. These Creatures was a veritable supergroup of late-2000s Northwest all-stars, including Jac Nelson (Black Tail Dear), Tucker Theodore (Buffalo Voice, Midwife), Allen Karpinski (The Six Parts Seven), and Jeff France (Fej).
Their Archer's Arrow album was left in the dust when their label folded in 2009, and we couldn't be more thrilled that it's been rescued and issued for the first time by Imperial Emporium Sound Options twelve years later. Brooding and sweet in equal measure, this is a true gem of unclassifiable, piano-driven, slowcore-adjacent rock.
