Following the release of their storming yet stunning new album ‘Entropy’, Acolyte have released a live video for the 11 minute musical pilgrimage ‘Idiosyncrasy’, taken from their recent live stream on Veeps, available for rewatch until 31st August 2021.
Chris Cameron (drums), says this about performing Idiosyncrasy live
“Idiosyncrasy is one of our longer tracks that really goes to another level when we play it live. There are so many dynamic, emotive and intricate sections that feature all members of the band which makes it both a challenge and thrill to play, but on top of that this tune has a deep atmosphere and narrative that really hits home in a live setting. We’re proud to have captured this performance from our recent set at Chapel Off Chapel which we’d like to share as a taste of what we’re planning to take on the road, hopefully very soon.”
Morgan-Leigh Brown – Vocals
David Van Pelt – Keys and Synths
Jason Grondman – Bass
