A single review portrays Arco as an elusive British slowcore group formed in 1998. Yield, their third album, is discreet and folk-tinged, with whispered vocals and warm tones. The write-up notes their sparse output (three albums in 12+ years), a move from Dreamy Records to South Korea’s Pastel Music, and subtle jazzy/bossa shades. Overall impression: understated, comforting, not a gem but with precious moments.
