In a sensational collision of musical forces, musicians Phoebe Little and Jas Scott, collectively known as SpaceAcre, create an enthralling and powerful sound that pulses with raw emotion. With powerful drums, grooves and cinematic arrangements, their music becomes an immersive experience, capped by Phoebe’s spellbinding vocals and the duo’s poignant and relatable lyrics. Their collaboration was a serendipitous encounter, a chance meeting that sparked an instant chemistry, leading them to explore a new sound that eventually resulted in SpaceAcre.

Now, SpaceAcre treats us to their latest offering, the stunning EP titled That Girl. The seven-track collection has been unveiled gradually over the last few months, building up to the final song, the devastating and haunting “Say,” which comes with the full EP. The EP opens with its title track, “That Girl,” a rousing indie rock anthem that celebrates female identity and serves as a rallying call for the queer community. Swaggering vocal leads, gritty guitar tones and energising drums drive the song, creating an empowering and anthemic experience for its listeners.

Following this, “Chemicals” showcases SpaceAcre’s tender songwriting prowess. Delicate and melancholic, the track weaves a tapestry of big piano bass notes and airy sonic textures, providing the perfect backdrop for Phoebe’s incredible vocal work to shine with melodic bliss. “Say” carries a somber theme of grief, beginning with stripped-back guitar loops and gradually building into a richly textured orchestral soundscape. Exploring the aftermath of losing a close friend unexpectedly, the song captures the yearning to connect with lost loved ones and the memories that linger in our hearts.

A standout moment on the EP is found in “Open My Eyes,” a refreshingly original track carried by the shuffle of a stuttering beat that delivers dynamic rhythm. Lush vocal layers intertwine throughout, creating a mesmeric and enthralling sound that draws listeners into SpaceAcre’s captivating world. The EP concludes with “Into The Dust,” an enchanting alternative pop sound featuring balletic vocals that dance above soft guitar tones and gentle drums. The song is a masterclass in storytelling lyricism, leaving the listener with a sense of wonder and magic as the EP draws to a close.

That Girl by SpaceAcre is a breathtaking showcase of the duo’s artistic talent and their ability to craft music that leaves a lasting impact on its audience. With each track, they take listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from empowerment and joy to vulnerability and reflection. Their innovative blend of indie rock, tender melodies and haunting vocals provides the perfect recipe to capture their unique artistic vision and the depth of their musical panache.

With their new EP, the duo invites us into their world, and we are eagerly awaiting what comes next on their musical adventure. As they continue to explore and evolve, it’s clear that SpaceAcre is an exciting and promising force in the music scene, deserving of recognition and acclaim.

Commenting on the EP and its title track, they share, “Making this EP has been a real evolution for us, both sonically and in our choice of themes. We find ourselves going deeper into our personal stories, as well as voicing feelings about the polarised social and political climate that we find ourselves in. It’s a progression that has lead to the single and title track, That Girl – an empowerment song for anyone who identifies as female, which was the last track that we wrote and recorded for the EP. It’s the first time that we have self-produced a song, and, with our live band, tracked it together in the same room to capture the energy and sound that we make live.”
