Discography
“These Days” is about letting
loose in the sun, unwinding,
dancing and being care-free. It’s
about making music for the right
reasons, and about the power of a
true friend who really hears you.
The uplifting energy comes from
Eliana Veinberga’s vocals and the
9-piece band. The track has gained
over 200k listens on Spotify and has been aired by Jazz FM.

"In Love?" is about the vulnerability and uncertainty of recklessly falling for someone. Written by saxophonist and bandmember Benjy Sandler, the track features Eliana Veinberga on vocals, as well as Lila Yin and BRAVVN on backing vocals. We worked with a string quartet to frame the spoken vocals in the last verse. Spotify featured Neo Arc as the cover of Fresh Finds Jazz after the release of "In Love?", and the song was added to the Jazz UK playlist.

"Move!" is a groove-based dance tune, inspired by the music of legends such as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, as well as contemporary figures such as Emma-Jean Thackray, Ezra Collective and Kokoroko. From the catchy bassline to the funky guitar riffs and horn licks, the single celebrates the power of dancing, movement and joy.

"Liquid Sunlight" is about finding a space of calm and self-love inside yourself, inspired by the 'Headspace' meditation programme. The original track was the band's first ever single, recorded in 2020 as a 'bedroom demo'. After separating over lockdown, the band finished and polished off the track in 2022. The spacey, lo-fi energy of the song is made complete by Gigi William's beautiful vocals.

"Footsteps" is about reflecting on past lovers, past versions of yourself and future dreams. It was inspired by several days of walking around London aimlessly, and the city's presence can be felt in the soundscapes heard in the song's outro. The band recorded string and horn arrangements, and the song features a rock-infused guitar solo from Ralph Porrett.
