New Acres Wild album out now

Appropriate Music is made from an idea that the «extra ordinary» can also become extraordinary. Sometimes what you need isn’t in the extremes. Sometimes you just want the appropriate. 10 appropriate, highly irresistible three-minute guitar pop songs.

The first album single The Sun is Shining gained praise from Clash Magazine UK and got listed on NRK P3. “Thank goodness for Acres Wild and their divine new single.” - Clash Magazine

Haley Shea (Sløtface) guests on the duets Nida Beach and The Sun is Shining. Sjur Lyseid (The Little Hands of Asphalt) contributes as co-writer on five tracks. Mixed by Acres Wild guitarist Simen Følstad Nilsen (Aiming for Enrike).

“Med Appropriate Music har Acres Wild meldt seg på i kampen om årets beste norske album så langt i år.” Popklikk.no

“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” - 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 bands 2016 single Line of Sight was included in Spotify Fresh Finds and reached #13 on the Viral USA Chart! Their 2017 single Falling Out of Love Again was included in Spotify International Weekly Buzz.
