Deborah Gray and Roy Nicolson formed ARVO in the early 80’s, high on the fumes of European synth-pop. After releasing their sole album, 1984’s Luna, the group evaporated. Like an island vanished from the map, ARVO has since only resurfaced in the realm of misty lore. Now, New Zealand label Strangelove Music are reviving two choice cuts from Luna along with remixes by Australia’s Hysteric and France’s Shelter. We bring you the original version of “Bikini,” premiered this week by Frosty on Open End, his Red Bull Radio voyage around the world. “Bikini” is a samba-hipped twister fit to frolick on the sand with Lizzy Mercier Descloux or Antena. Enjoy this sunsplashed slow-mo synth stunner.
