Acapoco: “Yard Rock”

Posted on August 28, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

It’s only fitting that the Meansville, Georgia-based psychedelic-rock trio, Acapoco, define their sound as a “powerful backdrop for you summer cookout.” After all, their single is titled “Yard Rock”, their artwork is a photograph of the three blurred in the grass, and their sound mimics the atmospheric nature of a summer night spent chillin’ with friends in the backyard — the familiarity of soft, female vocals atop the utter playfulness of tight guitar work, and intimate repetitive lines like “I can feel it.” It’s got a sense of mystery — before the drums kick in, the track opens with a sound reminiscent of Tool, but by the time the track peaks, it is something else entirely. Check it out, the download is free and the feelin’ is good.

Amy Anderson is a Magazine Journalism major at University of Georgia. She enjoys reviewing music and film of all kinds, and hopes to add more to the experience of listening or watching by adding critical perspective and showing various sides to works that audiences love (or hate, or feel indifferent towards). As well, when writing features, she strives to offer a glimpse into the artist’s creative process or ideology through engaging stories or thoughts. Her goal is to offer audiences unseen insight on creative works while opening eyes to worthwhile music and art. Amy's current five favorite musicians— though it’s always in rotation— are Andrew Bird, Beirut, Björk, John Maus, and Milosh. Her "guilty" pleasure is Robyn— if you don’t like her, you’re probably just pretending.
