"Dark yet luminous, Arcadia remains true to the spirit of soul: hope in melancholy even when cracks appear, the assurance that good will come from chaos. It also remains true to the band's founding principles since its inception, the bedrock on which it has built its reputation both on record and on stage: to get the audience up and dancing, to ignite in them that fierce desire to move. To be Buttshakers. Forgetting the compositional automatisms they've developed over the past decade, they have made Arcadia their most accomplished album in terms of compositions and songwriting, with each band member having had the opportunity to put forward their ideas."
