Wexford based musician Acko returns on the 26th of April with the single ‘Born on Earth’…
It will be his first release since his 2022 debut solo album St. Dominic’s Disappearance.
Acko is the former frontman with Dublin band Grasshopper and co-writer and producer oft critically acclaimed albums by The Revelator Orchestra.
The song serves as a “Soft Reunion” for Grasshopper as it features his former Grasshopper bandmates Brian K. Adamson guitar, Dan Straight on bass and Peter Murphy (AKA Cursed Murphy) on spoken word duties.
“It’s the closet we’re ever going to get to a full-on reunion” says Acko.
“I think it combines the best parts of Grasshopper and The Revelator Orchestra,” he continued.
Recorded and mixed by Acko in his home studio Born on Earth is a big loud beast built around a two-chordriff. The song was inspired by a George Carlin quote:
“When you are born in this world, you are given a ticket to the freak show.”
The single also includes alive version of “Traditional Song” and the Digital Lice remix of “Born on Earth”.
Acko will release his second solo album “Easy Journeys to Other Planets” in the Summer Born On Earth is available from Bandcamp and all the usual streaming platforms.
