Arthur Beatrice deliberately avoided music press attention early in its career.[2] The group launched its first single through word of mouth and social media (for example third party blogging) rather than through more public strategies.[3]

Musical style

Several critics have compared them to The xx, The Sundays and The Turtles,[4] however their style is difficult to define.[1]
