Arcane Lullaby Original music, blues, punk, reggae, rock, goth, soul, metal, psychedelic, funk, and more - all with a unique spin.

Arcane Lullaby is a local Santa Cruz band combining an eclectic mix of various music styles, unique original music and meaningful lyrics. The project was born from a dream, the music and lyrics harvested from the aether, and endures for love. For this show we will be branching off from our regular program to delve into some rocking instrumental jams as well as showcasing some of our songs with vocals. Although the band has a particular sound of its own, it cannot be pigeonholed into any single genre. Some of the entirely original songs may be difficult to categorize while other songs clearly draw inspiration from various styles. We could simply say "Alternative Rock" but you will have to hear it to believe it.
