The Story
Arcadia is a British new wave group that emerged in 1985, featuring Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor from Duran Duran as they explored a side project during a lull in their main band's activity. Active for just a brief period, they produced one album, "So Red the Rose," which showcased their distinct sound. The standout track "Election Day" exemplifies their style, melding catchy melodies with a synthesized backdrop. While Roger Taylor participated mainly behind the scenes, his influence can still be felt in the music. Arcadia's brief foray into the music scene offers a glimpse into the creative experimentation of the '80s, capturing a moment of artistic exploration.
