Sink into the all-consuming expertise that’s Acquainted, the most recent launch from SpaceAcre. It would fulfil any dream pop fan’s musical wants, with contrasting influences artistically mixed to create a darkish, intense environment. Jas Scott and Phoebe Little take listeners on a turbulent emotional trip; they put their hearts and souls into this monitor, and for simply over three minutes, we get an perception into the ache of “non-romantic heartbreak” that impressed the music.
Within the intro, pulsating, silky vocals mix with fluid bass and plucky strings to lull listeners right into a dreamlike state earlier than launching into an explosive refrain the pair describe as “a little bit of a battle cry.” Previously unfastened, floaty sounds develop into fiercer and extra passionate, tethered by a gradual however driving drumbeat. The haunting intro and verses put us right into a trance, however within the refrain, anger effervescent underneath the floor is launched, setting us free. The music video displays this, that includes ethereal underwater pictures, flashing lights, and fascinating close-ups of Little and Scott during which their ardour and sincerity shine by way of.
SpaceAcre’s upcoming EP Chemical substances will proceed alongside these traces, drawing on private experiences and themes of discrimination. Coming from very totally different musical backgrounds, the pair have discovered a option to mix their sounds to create a mesmerising new entity; if Acquainted is something to go by, we actually have one thing to look ahead to from SpaceAcre within the New Yr.
