Acres of Diamonds Record Release Show at Ortlieb’s Oct. 17

Local indie dream-pop quartet Acre of Diamonds will be releasing a new album this upcoming weekend. Over the past year, the band recorded the EP at Minor Street Studios, Uniform Recording and at home in its analog studio. Acres of Diamonds will be debuting their new material this evening at Ortlieb’s, which will provide an intimate setting for the band’s expansive sound. It will also mark the end of the group’s live performance hiatus. They’ll be joined by the Americana-rooted sonic palate of Wild Orphan, which is lead by Kristen Sylvester (ex-Spirit and Dust) and also features Sean Hoots (of Hoots & Hellmouth). Ortlieb’s, 847 N 3rd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Blake Oetting
