Coming Up For Air

The Acid “Basic Instinct”

The Acid are a great example of something that in only a few years will sound very specific to this period of time, this pocket of years in the first half of this decade. This particular song sounds a lot like the more famous Alt-J, but I think this is a bit better than anything they’ve done – they have the same desolate folk + moody electronic vibe, but the vocals are far less affected and The Acid are more willing to push the ambient elements of their music from an eerie, evocative hum to an ugly, overwhelming buzz.
