Netherlands-born, Wales-based musician, producer and multidisciplinary artist Accü has a new single. Spaced-out electronica with sweet folky harmonies and dreamy psychedelia, ‘Spinning The Apple’ was birthed from a spontaneous collaboration with friends and creatives in Cardiff’s Tŷ Drwg Studios over the course of a day. The end result is surprisingly melded, gentle and natural in ethereal beauty. This laid-back, open approach of following collective instincts contrasts with the process for 2018’s debut Welsh Music Prize-shortlisted album Echo The Red, recorded in her caravan in Carmarthenshire.
‘I loved the whole process, people coming and going, laying down whatever they fancied,’ says Accü of the song. ‘It felt so open and un-rigid, back to the action of play – where we often forget is where the magic happens. In this particular piece, I seemed to be channeling themes of the unexpected roles we find ourselves in within families and relationships. The apple may not fall far. The apple may fall very far. That unpredictability fascinated me – how we inherit or reject patterns without even realizing it.‘
‘Spinning The Apple’ is out now via Libertino.
