"You guys are great! Hey, can I get some more audience in my monitor please!" The Acorn are adored by many, but if they needed to endear themselves to the few who didn't know about them, that statement from Howie Tsui whipped them into a restrained frenzy.

After an amazing year of touring and releases by The Acorn, Rolf Klausener recently recorded 2 EPs worth of music over the holidays and has decided to give them away for free as the band's gift to you this holiday season! Here's what Rolf had to say about it:I woke up on the morning of December 24th with the urge to drop 12, thirty-second songs inspired by the myriad of friendships and expe...

The Acorn cultivates a lush and mellow vibe that doesn't always grab my ear. This track, however starts right off with a great melodic vocal hook and tribal rhythm that sustains the excitement level throughout. The sound reminds me of Poi Dog Pondering and the Talking Heads 'Naked' album.Listen and download: http://cornx2.us/~03ms6

Just as much as the early Saturday post-Halloween show at Schubas could be described as a celebration of Swedish music, the same could be said for the late show being a happy mini showcase of the sounds of Canada. Headlined by The Acorn , Ottawa's five piece played their interesting mix of blissful indie folk rock. It was difficult not to also adore the sounds of Toronto's cute indie pop band...

My camera, light-devouring, ISO-hungry beast that it is, refused to play nice at the Acorn 's Oct. 24 Spaceland show. But luckily you can get more than a taste of the band's invigorating folk thanks to the LaundroMatinee , who just captured four songs from the Ottawa act. As on their recordings, the Acorn play with clean, well-woven arrangements, becoming more forceful live without dirtying...
