Biography

Hi - Thank you for visiting my site. I've tried to make it welcoming and a musical oasis for you to rest a bit. If you've come to review a few tunes, please kick back and deep dive into the ones I've posted here. I've tried to walk in your shoes when I wrote these; since I do believe that we all give our level best effort to love and live passionately and sincerely, though the outcome of our effort is not always what we anticipate or hope for; but it is the effort and decision to love that is so rewarding. Please let me know how you feel about my music, and write a few words before you move on. I appreciate your time - we never seem to have enough of it, but thanks for sharing yours with me.

BIO: Mortal Shell was launched in the 90s with its primary song-writer and vocalist: Andrew McArthur (rhythm guitar) and talented lead guitarist: James Thurchack; and the pristine electronics of a Roland MC-80 Micro-composer Sequencer. Since those early days, Mortal Shell has changed line-ups; and is now a name in search of its members; but what has remained unchanged is the focus, and the positive message of Andrew (M.C. Arthur, Mac, Macstaq). He has always composed his songs with passion, patience and sincere reflection. Mortal Shell’s style draws from the haunting echoes of folk to the wailing of electric blues; from the adrenaline rush of rock and roll to the exotic rhythms of jazz. However, the influences drawn upon most are not from other bands, but rather from what we all experience by merely being human: the passion for living, and the need for love.  The music, resonates with universal themes of faith, family, and friendship.  Their Debut CD: “The One”, adds brilliant color to the daily and often routine interactions of life. It is a breath of musical fresh-air. Throw open your windows and breathe deep.

Andrew has continued to grow as a writer, vocalist and musician. His latest effort will soon be released titled: "Primal Baggage" some of these tunes hearken back to the seminal emotions and excess baggage we all carry around that effect our outlook on relationships, the ebb & flow of life as well as ideas.
