Appropriate Music

New Acres Wild album Appropriate Music out now!

With Appropriate Music Acres Wild runs things down the middle to find the balance between the fast and the slow, the heavy and the light, the up-beat and the somber. The music is made from an idea that the «extra ordinary» can also become extraordinary. 10 appropriate, highly irresistible three-minute guitar pop songs.

“Thank goodness for Acres Wild and their divine new single. 'The Sun Is Shining' is exactly the indie pop belter we need in our lives, an exuberant, wholly natural, completely uplifting missive from Norway”. - Clash Magazine
“Dette er gitarpop av aller beste merke. Folk med et øre for treminutters popfinesse og finslepne poporkestre som Teenage Fanclub, Cold Mailman, American Analog Set, Pinback eller The Go-Betweens vil kunne finne mye å glede seg over på dette gjennomarbeidede og velarrangerte albumet.” - Deichman Musikk
“Hva får du hvis du blander Acres Wild med Haley Shae (Sløtface) og trompet? Den perfekte indie-sommerlåta!”- Musikknyheter.no
“Helt perfekt akkurat nå. (..) Deilig naiv solskinnspop” - P13 Selskapssjuk:

The Sun is Shining was conceived on a pitch perfect day in July. Vocalist Magnus wrote the melody, accompanied by his then ten-year-old little sister. Acres Wild brings in guest vocalist Haley Shea from Sløtface. Better known for more of a punkish attitude in her music, this song shows the singer´s most happy-go-lucky performance. The result is a summery, trumpet driven, feel-good duet that is sure to shine some light on anyone listening.

“Hey! Remember the sun? You might not have seen it in a while since you have been staying indoors. It’s still here and we made a song about it for those who need a reminder of what sunshine feels like.” - Acres Wild
“I was honoured when Acres Wild asked me to sing this song with them. It was a very fun creative process to be a part of, and I think the song turned out lovely. A perfect spring-time bop to calm the anxious feelings we're all probably struggling with these days” - Haley Shea (Featuring vocalist)
