INTERVIEW: Isamaya Ffrench and George Clarke introduce their new band, ALTO ARC

At some point during the pandemic, beauty guru Isamaya Ffrench and Deafheaven frontman George Clarke started a band with progressive producer Danny L Harle and Trayer Tryon from the Florida band Hundred Waters. Four disparate artists at the height of their creativity, the formation of ALTO ARC was unexpected.
