ACHARIS - Blue Sky / Grey Heaven LP

Highly recommended.

Since forming in 2015 in Oakland, CA, The Acharis has been a creative outlet for life partners Shaun Wagner (Diesel Dudes, Connoisseur) and Mila Puccini (Healers). Trading off vocals and songwriting duties, they performed and recorded every instrument themselves on the 2017 debut Lost in the Vortex.

Their newest offering Blue Sky / Grey Heaven finds them joining forces with legendary producer John Fryer (Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, This Mortal Coil). The darker, more produced sound, along with their newly recruited full live band, deliver a spectrum of moods ranging from fragile noise-pop to fuzzed out shoegaze.

John Fryer’s atmospheric, textured production brings a cinematic and moody depth to the band's core grunge and kaleidoscopic guitar elements.
