Another ARCTIC expedition is about to launch - the independent Vancouver-based band is ready to explore Canada for their second month-long expedition in a year, starting with a tour kickoff party at Cafe Deux Soleils in Vancouver on September 20.

The band itself is already as cross-Canadian as can be. With the three members hailing from Yellowknife, NT, St. John's, NF and Kelowna, BC, their diverse influences and experiences emerge from some of the furthest and most isolated corners of this country. These influences combine in unexpected ways: progressive rock, jazz, industrial rock merge with ambient textures and acoustic singer/songwriter melodies to create something fresh, unconventional and intriguing that has been dubbed "acoustic trance", "psychedelic folk", and "Metric meets Neil Young".
