Music | Acollective to play London shows and new video

Acollective grew up making music together. Making their own shows here and there, the band eventually gathered a fanbase.

Crowds started forming, more and more gatherings took place and, with a hook-up in the UK, the band’s first ever real tour was put together.

In the confines of a London flat, the songs that would later become their debut album (2011’s ‘Onwards’) were penned and fine-tuned. After an unfortunate deportation saga, the band returned to Israel renewed, and full of purpose, ready to commit all they had learned to tape.

“Onwards” was released in 2011, produced by Chris Shaw.  Sold out tours around the country beckoned and it wasn’t long before they were playing international shows and festivals, at the likes of Glastonbury, YNOT, and SXSW.

They were their own label, their own management, press and booking agency, and it took time for the dust to settle, and for them to find their feet in making for the follow-up to “Onwards”.

So, surrounded by “a million different beeping things” the band locked themselves away in an old shoe factory and recorded what is now called “Pangaea”.

The band will be in the UK in July and their album will be released on Alcopop! on 7 July, with support coming from the likes of Q, Uncut and Drowned In Sound, plus radio support at 6 Music, and XFM too.

UK shows: 

14 July – Birthdays, London
20 July – Brixton Windmill, London
