New Music From Gregory Ackerman
LA-based Gregory Ackerman, who was once signed by V2 off of a cold email back in 2018, is following 2023’s EP Mhm Okay, which was featured on platforms like For Folk’s Sake and appearing in major editorial playlists, with another folky gem: the Brand New Life EP, due in May 2024. The record was produced by Dillon Casey (Weyes Blood, Jack Symes) and mastered by Mark Chalecki (Mavis Staples, John Mayall).
The EP explores newfound love, as well as future prospects, tending towards nostalgic and vintage vibes and feeling warm and comfortable all the way through. Advance singles “Brand New Life” and “Breaking My Heart” are built on an acoustic guitar accompaniment by the singer-songwriter, met with laid-back and relaxed vocals exploring some meditative, lyrical ground.
“Laid back and engrossing” – Clout Magazine
“Languorous, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon or anytime you feel like basking in jangly mellow indie.” – Last Day Deaf
