Saintseneca, a young band from Columbus, Ohio led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zac Little, release their ANTI- debut Dark Arc in 2014. While the group formed in Columbus, a majority of Saintseneca’s members, including songwriter Little, hail from the rural hills of Appalachia, a landscape that has infused the group’s evocative music with a deep sense of introspection. Following in the footsteps of heartland bands who have sought to twist the music of the old weird America into new shapes – from the Violent Femmes to Neutral Milk Hotel – Saintseneca perform songs that sound familiar and utterly strange, all at once. As an introduction to the band, ANTI- released a 7” single featuring “Uppercutter” this fall, a haunting song anchored by throbbing acoustic guitars, atmospheric piano and Little’s soaring vocals, which quickly became a press and indie retail favorite. Now with Dark Arc, Saintseneca deliver on Pitchfork’s promise of “a sonic fullness Saintseneca only hinted at previously.”
