“We Came, We Saw, We Partied”: Almost Heaven Debut with a Sweaty and Feverish Disco Ball Haze on ‘RAW CRANIUM’ (
@___almostheaven )
—
Austin duo Almost Heaven are unleashed and unstoppable on their sweaty debut EP ‘RAW CRANIUM,’ a feverish indie-dance eruption where vulnerability meets immersion and the dancefloor becomes a space for release, connection, and pure kinetic joy.
.
“With the music we create, we try to glue together two extremes in our creative world, vulnerability through storytelling and immersion with our production and performance. With every songwriting experience, we have to be able to close our eyes while listening and see the song exist in this way. We’re always talking about world building, and right now, this is the beginning stages of what will be the world of Raw Cranium.”
.
“With vulnerability it takes an initial focus within, and must be built from the ground up with yourself, whereas immersion is the opposite - it’s about going beyond yourself and your world to connect with others. I think trying to accomplish both at the same time can be a dangerous game, but if you do it right it creates beautiful moments that make everyone in the room feel like they got to witness a unique experience for themselves every time you play a show.”
.
“There’s something to be said about curating a space that’s not only big enough to fit ‘x amount’ of people in it, but one that also allows those people the freedom and the confidence to feel safe being 100% themselves… and our world just so happens to be a disco ball, so that’s pretty sick too.”
.
“Logically and sonically, this song was an attempt at putting a modern twist on a really deep-rooted sense of nostalgia… how do we take a hot dog and prepare it in a way that makes someone feel like, for some reason, it’s the first time they’re having one while they eat it. Hot dogs… the song’s about hot dogs.”
