Sword II are the Atlanta trio Mari González, Certain Zuko and Travis Arnold, making urgent, unpolished rock that blends theatricality with raw, lived experience. Recorded in a crumbling, shock-prone house, their forthcoming album ‘Electric Hour’ channels paranoia, desire and resistance into stripped-back arrangements that foreground harmonies, guitar and shared vocals. Rooted in the city’s DIY scene, the band draw from folk, punk, pop and experimental textures to craft their songs.
