Acrylics, All of the FireWith candy-coated pop soundscapes that ring between the ears as almost tangible, Acrylics new EP, All Of The Fire, will bake itself into your brain. Both crisp and organic the act is melodic and reminds one of life's pleasantries as their music is sunshine pop with vocals that are just as lush as the melodies that feel breezy and joyous.

Their sound is both danceable and atmospheric, sensuous and tender. Acrylics has been put under the AM pop genre, a type of largely bubblegum and mellow pop in the 1960's and 1970's. However, it is not all about flashy kitsch.

As Acrylics Jason Klauber tells that when writing the album he had a few movie composers in mind that one might not expect from such a band as this. These include David Lynch's composer Angelo Badalamenti and Alfred Hitchcock's scorer, Bernard Herman, as well as Tim Burton's often collaborator, Danny Elfman.
