Hopeless Records

STREET DATE: END OF OCTOBER

Second album of "colors" trilogy! Rising Metal(core)/Alternative artist keeps 2 Million+ Tik Tok followers breathless. Hailing from Wisconsin USA, Arankai first emerged in 2022 with a series of independent releases. Blending elements of metal, alternative rock, and emotionally driven storytelling, he quickly built a loyal following through his raw sound and striking presence across social media. Following 2026 May and June's The Portrait Tour - the artist's debut headline tour- which had multiple sold-out shows across the USA, Arankai will perform select headline shows in Europe, including an appearance at Reeperbahn Festival, before carrying that momentum into early 2027 with a European support run alongside Melrose Avenue. Arankai in his own words: "The Shape of Blue", like its predecessor "A Portrait of Red," covers a range of human experiences: rebellion, pride, sacrifice, to name a few that stick out. I tend to draw from personal experiences, but with this particular record I found myself writing songs that reflected specific situations involving other people; sometimes I wasn't even a part of those situations, it was just a powerful moment I found inspiring. I really wanted this record to be something special. I did a lot of things I haven't done before, wrote songs in styles that were new to me; I really wanted to give people a new, exciting experience. I believe "The Shape of Blue", as an album, is a strong, emotive piece. And I hope people enjoy it as much as I loved making it." TRACKLISTING: 01. HELTER SKELTER (FT. BUFFALO_FARM) 02.
