Arrays is the solo studio project of JP Carroll - the archetypal one man band. JP writes, performs and arranges the songs, records and produces the tracks, and even handles the mixes by himself. Music is his obsession, from writing a song, to mixing it and releasing it.
The new album Light Years is a tour de force of melodic, guitar heavy, metal-infused rock. This record is proudly independent, self produced and funded, and another way point on the journey JP is on to achieving the sound he hears in his head.
No Way Out presents a visceral, aggressive aspect of Arrays, driven by a palm muted riff, before the syncopated, stomping bridge lands. Little Blue Dot reveals a softer side, until the anthemic final chorus. Home is a twisted time capsule for our shared experience in lockdown, and the title track sets off the record with introspective lyrics and an arrangement big and wide enough to carry them.
"...He has a strong voice and is obviously a talented musician to create these songs at a quality level of production alone." - For The Love Of Bands
"...There are a handful of talented multi instrumental musicians who have the ability to strip everything back to just themselves and their imagination. JP Carroll is one such talent. He is also a master of the killer riff." - Paul Goddard, Muzic.net.nz
Arrays is guitar centric, melodic and anchored in groove. Grunge, Nu Metal, Metalcore and Prog Metal influences are drawn upon to create a sound that is unique and unmistakably ‘JP’, while still feeling strangely familiar - like a trip down memory lane with a new perspective.
JP’s former band (Armed In Advance) had the honor of supporting Drowning Pool, P.O.D and Skillet on New Zealand soil.
