The Royal Arctic Institute
An instrumental trio playing an eclectic mix of post-punk, cinematic, orchestrated jazz. Having their music dubbed as “post-everything."
The Royal Artic Institute meld their experiences and accomplishments into a formidable hodgepodge of sonic exploration.
Featuring members of Das Damen, Phantom Tollbooth, and Roky Erickson's band, The Royal Arctic Institute’s storied music histories inspire its “post-everything” approach to music-making. The band's second LP, Accidental Achievement, is an impeccable culmination of that history. Cinematic, lush, and genre-defying, Accidental Achievement will be out on October 19th. The Royal Arctic Institute is John Leon, Gerard Smith, and Lyle Hysen.
