The Acid
Trip out at Goodgod with this fuzzy, synth-fuelled trio.
Overview
Any reference to acid in a nom de plume naturally elicits the intention of a band that bids to seduce you into their unearthly altered perception of the world. Renegade alt-electro supergroup, The Acid, portends to do just that.
A formidable coalescence of distinctive individual talent, the trio is part comprised of Byron-native and early-buzz Splendour favourite Ry Cuming (RY X), who has notably been making waves since the release of his compelling Berlin EP in late 2013. Cuming's haunting vocals are paired with Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Adam Freeland's innate ability to effortlessly reinvent nu-skool breaks; captured by the skills of Steve Nalepa, whose dexterity as a producer and sound technician has led him to collaborate with the likes of Drake and The Weeknd.
Together as The Acid, their debut album Liminal (released July 4 via Infectious Music/Liberator) may be described as both impulsive and restrained. If Bon Iver and The xx went on a 'trip' together, they'd probably sound something like this. As the album title suggests, Liminal subversively lulls the listener into an inner sanctum, where shimmering synths and lonely lyrical murmurs make you feel as though you've been bestowed with an indelible secret. Dive into The Acid at Goodgod on July 23 and get clued in.
