Auris Acumen, the side-project of Fun Ethereal front man Charles Harris, were very recently shown to me by their new drummer. With only 4 of their songs available on Soundcloud, and their debut show coming up at the end of the month, its a bit preemptive to hype them too heavily. That said, from what I’ve heard off their soundcloud, they could easily be making a colossal splash in 2013. The tracks are all a bit too reverb heavy in their current demo form but, especially on stand-out ‘Standing Slow’, you can hear the framework of something quite brilliant.
I really really like this lot and would encourage you all to try and catch them on the 29th when they play Surya (London)… Industry sharks are gonna be smelling blood.
I like the layering and the melodies. See what you’re saying about the wash of reverb. But cheers for the post. Nice feature this! Mike Dennis
