Arsenal was an American indie rock band, formed by the former Big Black guitarist Santiago Durango, after Big Black broke up. Durango was in law school at the time. Arsenal featured similar characteristics to Big Black (drum machine, noisy guitar etc.) but a much less abrasive sound, mainly due to the addition of a melodic keyboard sound on certain songs. For the first record, Santiago asked bassist Malachi Ritscher to play for him, resulting in the self-produced, four-song EP, Manipulator, released on Touch and Go Records in 1988.
