(ACRE TARN)

Anna-Louisa Etherington of ACRE TARN emerged as a stunning new dream-pop presence with last year’s singles “Flex” and “Lanterns”.

Awash with the dazzling waters that gave rise to experimental pop legends Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins, the Lake District producer's majestic electronic compositions stand fully-formed and hypnotic in their own right. Propulsive and spellbinding new single “Dawn Faces” beckons us further into her glimmering wonderland.

“Dawn Faces” is ornate and ambitious dream-pop at its very best. Framed by synths that flit and dive like fairy tale creatures, Etherington’s mesmeric, airy chant dips into a truly glorious lower register. The thundering chorus launches all glittering proceedings skyward with rhapsodic overlapping vocals and weighty, textured drums. Ultra melodic and wholly enchanting, this is a song that demands repeat listenings.

Pair "Dawn Faces" with M83's “We Own the Sky” in a playlist and you may never return to earth.
