The comely acoustic folk of The Acetates greets you like an unexpected postcard from an old friend – always reliable, familiar, and with a reminder that things are going to be just fine. Their stripped-down songs are closely-observed musings that depict images of the everday, though they incorporate wind instruments to give it a fuller texture; think of nostalgic city dwellers reminiscing about the simple country life backing Paul Simon on his latest tour. After two sporadic singles released through bandcamp in 2012, both in the vein of gleaming Americana, the Echo Park quintet are finally releasing their debut EP on the last night of their May residency at Silverlake Lounge.
