Brooklyn NYC duo, Acrylics debut album, ‘Lives and Treasure’ will get a full UK release via esteemed independent, Gung Ho! Recordings, on the 11th July. Watch their ‘Vertigo’ promo below.
“‘Lives and Treasure’, which showcases a sound malleable enough to assimilate new wave, country, lite-funk, art-pop, and more. ‘Sparrow Song’ is an ingenuous ode to Kate Bush’s spacey electronic pop. The chilly disco-rock of ‘Nightwatch’ has a sultry, hooky vocal that recalls Suzanne Vega’s ‘Tom’s Diner’. Shades of Sinead O’Connor, Fleetwood Mac, Natalie Merchant, and American Music Club loom large. But traces of modern big-tent indie can be found as well. ‘The Window’, with its woolly vocals and webbed acoustic arpeggios, splits the difference between Bright Eyes and Elliot Smith, while ‘Asian Pear’ develops from dreamy beginnings into a lean tremolo-guitar anthem with the barking grandeur of Wolf Parade” – Pitchfork
