See ‘A Day In The Tour’ with The Acid

This year, The Acid - a previously mysterious entity - revealed their identities while bringing to life their superb debut record, ‘Liminal’.

Since then, life’s stayed central to the road for Ry X, Adam Freeland and Steve Nalepa. They’ve landed in London for a handful of gigs, but ‘Liminal’’s taken them worldwide, too. Footage from Tom Clabots has emerged of the group playing Ghent’s Big Next Festival back in September - a video documenting the journey (titled ‘A Day In The Tour’) can be seen exclusively on DIY below.

Alongside clips of the band playing ‘Animal’ and ‘Ghost’, they also discuss their music in detail.

“All of us have had different experiences in our musical and personal lives, so we’re bringing those experiences into the collaboration,” says Ry X, of a project that began with spur-of-the-moment sessions in LA last year.

“There’s a tension that’s there, and at the core of it is a central calm, even though you’re on the side of a cliff looking into a dark cabin - it gets really intense sometimes,” agrees Nalepa of the band’s music.

Watch the interview and live footage from live on the road with The Acid, below.

Their tour continues with a run of US shows alongside Alt-J this autumn. ‘Liminal’ is out now on Infectious Music.
