Beyond the music lies another story.

Letters From the Dark is Arch & Hand’s ongoing exploration of monsters, mythology, transformation, identity, queer experience, religious trauma, and the strange ways we learn to become ourselves. Through essays, reflections, storytelling, and the ideas that inspire our songs, we journey into the beauty hidden inside the things the world is taught to fear.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, found strength in your scars, or discovered that what made you different might also be what made you strong, you’ll feel at home here.
