Walking the creative line somewhere between Jack Johnson & John Butler Trio, with an occasional, relevant dash of emotional turmoil.
EPs
Shorelines to Sutton have done everything right in getting to where they are. The musicianship is on point, impressive & expressive at the same time, varied & interesting, tight. The songwriting is real & meaningful.
The Acorns have long been focused on honing their sound to a unique degree, and this two-track EP stands as a strong testament to that effort.
A playlist that feels somewhat nostalgic or reminiscent or other moments, but that consistently pushes you outside of your comfort zone & creates entirely new thought patterns & ideas to ponder.
Soundscapes built around meandering vocal melodies, with little to no clear language use, but rather, an underlying intention to connect with audiences on a deeper, emotional & spiritual level.
Think Band Of Skulls meets Fleetwood Mac. The sound is brilliant, heavy & infectiously melodic – stunning to consider this is all a one-take live show; right there in your living room.
The album explodes onto the scene with infectious, energizing guitars & drums, supported & guided by a leading vocalist who was surely born to be in a rock band.
He’s giving us direct insight into his process with this release. As a critic, this is fascinating, and as a music aficionado, it’s exciting & different than anything we’re used to in this genre.
A uniquely conceptual collection that bends & breaks just about any of the supposed rules regarding genre & style.
The way tiiiger has managed to fuse so many different building blocks into something that flows so naturally is superb. A creative at his best.
Think riots at a carnival or circus, immense pain mixed in with ignorant bliss & energetic joy, all connected & confused – uncertain what the future really holds.
A two-track bonanza, set to immediately take many listeners back to their teenage years – when punk-pop was the soundtrack to our carefree lives.
