heart2heart by Acid Wave
“heart2heart shows growth for a band that was already writing incredible, moody pop music. Incredible things are on the way for this band.”
-Glide Magazine
“The female quintet secret a stunning dream pop underbelly to their full band sound.”
-FLEX
“In heart2heart, Acid Wave have created a moment in time that’s all theirs. We’re welcomed into it and in that moment, we dream. We dream of love lost and hearts on fire under an infinite starlit sky. That is a remarkable feat and one that is going to win this band a devoted following.”
-Mark Anderson, Static Sounds Club
For all-girl band Acid Wave, new album heart2heart centers around the joy that bursts through when we find our home in others, be it romantic or platonic. The Texas-based five-piece describe themselves as “besties,” and are constantly inspired by each other, and it’s on heart2heart that Acid Wave shows us what can happen when you surround yourself with those you really trust.
Drummer/vocalist and songwriter Audrey Villalobos began writing what would become heart2heart after she moved to Oklahoma due to her time in the Air Force. Keyboardist/vocalist Jet Gil-Robert, guitarist/vocalist Eva Vasquez, bassist/vocalist Isanette Olivarez, and drummer/vocalist Mary Moreck stayed in El Paso, Texas and the band worked remotely for several years to bring together the collection of songs.
“I just felt so much love and I wanted to put that into songs for my partner,” Villalobos says. But heart2heart isn’t just a love story; instead, it interweaves all the growing pains of learning to love yourself too.
