Discovery: Acid Goose

Acid Goose is the dream pop project of Dublin, Ireland-based creator Paul MacKinnon. Something of a one-man band, Paul sings, plays synth, keys, guitar, bass and drums, and does his own production in his track Falling.

Falling is an instantly atmospheric track. It opens with subtle low electronic notes before laidback drum and bass come in. The layers slowly build, with ghostly vocals and an ethereal, cosmic soundscape. Paul is influenced by the likes of 65daysofstatic, Tame Impala and FKJ, and fans of those artists will find a lot to love about Falling.

The track will feature on Acid Goose’s album Napalm, from which Paul will be releasing more singles over the next few months. I can’t wait to hear them! I hope you’ll agree. You can check out Falling below.
