Blood & Chemistry is the debut full-length studio album by the British alternative rock band Arcane Roots, released in 2013 on Play It Again Sam.[5]
Background
On 17 April 2013, Arcane Roots released a teaser video for the album, alongside the release date and a UK headline tour in April–May 2013.[6]
Critical reception
Clash called the album "full of unabashed, unreserved rock thrills - a potent, powerful document of a band on the rise, it matches the unbridled energy of their live show to a mature control of the studio."[7] The Guardian called it "a record of elaborate verses, heartfelt choruses and skipping time signatures worthy of late-period Biffy Clyro."[8]
