FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The singer and songwriter known as
Acmesound has released his debut LP record, “Better Late Than
Never.” The album is comprised of 12 original tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has been proudly
released independent of support from major music companies. A rock
record played neck-deep in rhythm and infused with copious amounts of
cool, “Better Late Than Never” is a tremendous accomplishment
from one of rock's most multi-talented and expert musicians.
Hawaii's Acmesound (often stylized as
acmesound) cites as main artistic influences such explosive acts as
the Who, Santana, Eric Clapton, U2, the Police, and Lifehouse. In
addition to certain nuances of these discernible in “Better Late
Than Never,” Acmesound has a flavor all his own that pulses with
measured amounts of groove and sonic aggression. These traits are
perhaps most clear on his three instrumental tracks, “Juggernaut,”
“Angst,” and “North Shore Revisited,” as well as on his
electrifying live take of “Enough for the Night,” which showcases
Acmesound's vibrant delivery and charisma onstage.
Speaking of the general tones of his
record, Acmesound writes, “To me it covers a wide range of styles,
and I’m not really sure even how to describe some of it. Some of it
is geared toward the beat and sounds, others have thoughtful lyrics.
Once in a while they both come together, which is the goal.”
Thematically speaking, Acmesound's
songs are neither preachy nor self-interested.
“Sometimes the lyrics are
straightforward and the meaning is clear,” he writes of this, “but
I also try to write with vague references, things that will allow the
listener to come up with a personal meaning for themselves based on
their own experiences. These are the ones I think I enjoy the most.”
Acmesound started as the personal
project of a rhythm guitarist and keyboard player best known from his
work with Kona's popular cover band, Fargo. Commenting on the issues
involved with time constraints of band members, available facilities,
and other such complications, Acmesound decided to go back to the
studio for his creative outlet. Always preferring the precision of
recording to the unpredictability of live performances, anyway, he
went to work on “Better Late Than Never.”
“In this environment, time could be
allocated as available,” he explains. “A half hour to mix some
tracks, a late night insomnia session fueled by inspiration, or a
weekend marathon, to record, layer, experiment, tweak, and finalize
an idea. One person with the option to be creative without a
schedule. In the end, you eventually come out with something tangible
for your efforts, and if you did your job, others may like it too.”
“Better Late Than Never” by
Acmesound is available online worldwide.
