Background notes
Archive material and source history
Syd Arthur formed in Cambridge in 2004, with Leo Wyndham as the vocalist and songwriter. Their early work had a psychedelic folk feel, and they put out their first album, 'Food,' in 2007. The band's sound developed into something more atmospheric and arranged, heard on tracks like 'Evolution' and 'Coal Mine.'
They released several more albums, including 'On an On,' 'Brilliant Tricks,' and 'Apricity.' The music often mixed folk with electronic and classical touches. The lineup changed around Wyndham over time, with other musicians like Adam Franklin, Max Harper, and Joel Magill contributing.
In 2016, the group faced allegations of sexual misconduct involving a former member. Wyndham and others in the band apologized publicly. They kept working after that, putting out the album 'Hotel Lux' in 2021.
