about

Acolyte’s latest release, Memory & Make Believe is a love letter to what could be. With trademark acerbic humour, poet Iona Lee explores our universal craving for connection, for release from destructive patterns and desire to feel alive. This sense of being stuck in a loop is reflected in the song’s ⅞ time signature, and a bass line which runs throughout, building with a dramatic intensity which detonates into a psychedelic crescendo of sublime joy and heartbreak.

“I want to pin down love like a butterfly and kiss it. I want to cast a cloud of light from my submarine. To shoot an arrow through this stupor, stick it quivering to a tree.”
