The long-awaited new EP from Arjuna Oakes, Recovery Pt. 2, is finally on its way, due for release this February 4th, 2022.
Recovery Pt. 2
Recovery Pt. 2 is the highly anticipated follow up to Arjuna Oakes’ 2020 EP Recovery Pt. 1. Recorded at the same sessions as Recovery Pt. 1 back in February of 2020, Recovery Pt. 2 continues delving into the same themes such as climate change, identity and the journey of healing, which are all themes that seem more timely today than when these songs were recorded. Largely performed live in the studio by Arjuna and his band of talented young musicians, these songs explode with intense youthful energy and feature a unique mix of creative songwriting and explorative improvisation.
Recovery Pt. 2 provides an exciting climax to the themes and musical ideas introduced in Recovery Pt. 1 and solidifies both records as an important chapter in Arjuna’s discography.
