The Acrobat - Vinyle Transparent Coeur Bleu

Description

Since the release in 2014 of the acclaimed first EP by the Philadelphia band Death of Lovers, Buried Under a World of Roses, many wondered if a full album would ever come out, especially due to the extensive touring of Nothing, Domenic, Nick, and Kyle's other band. The Acrobat embodies the new vision and direction taken by Death of Lovers. The first single, “The Absolute,” addresses the themes of selfishness and greed. “Lowly People” is the band's response to “Common People” by PULP, through the prism of their own childhood: the streets of Kensington, in Philadelphia, where shards of glass sparkle like stars, and the summer air breeds a certain violence. Somehow, The Acrobat manages to create a warm familiarity while offering a completely new sound. Although their tracks would fit perfectly on the soundtrack of all your favorite 80s movies, the freshness and creativity of their songwriting redefine the codes of post-punk.
