'Acopia' Album Launch with Dumbhead, Nū & Mia Marcelle
Event description
✯ ACOPIA (LIVE) ✯
Revered Naarm/Melbourne three-piece, Acopia, launch their self-titled sophomore album, ‘Acopia’ at The Grace Darling Hotel.
Acopia is the collaborative project comprised of musicians Kate Durman (Purient), Lachlan McGeehan (Liluzu), and Morgan Wright (DSM-V, Mittens).
With a local following that resonates deeply with their transcendent, atmospheric sound, Acopia’s productions traverse the sonic worlds of downtempo and trip-hop, meticulously weaved together by a raw simplicity reminiscent of the post-punk sound.
'...the Australian group strips its melancholy electronic pop down to a whisper, nodding simultaneously to 1980s ennui and 2020s anxiety...their work in this band is minimalist but purposeful, prizing drive and atmosphere even when the music is at its sparsest.
- Shaad D’Souza ('Acopia' Review - Pitchfork)

+ Dumbhead
+ Nū
+ Mia Marcelle
