Rochester-based project Acorn Theory crafts a meditative sound on new single “Fireflies,” melding spacey synths and lush guitar strums for an immersive impact. A soaring vocal introspective calms alongside, exploring “existential themes of spirituality, mortality, and the meaning of life.” The “in the night,” sequence is especially stirring in that regard, capturing a sense of philosophical connectivity and unity. Acorn Theory represents the solo songwriting output of Scott Wright, whose heady and psychedelic sound glistens with replay-inducing appeal throughout “Fireflies.”

The track comes via Acorn Theory’s newly released full-length, Remember the Toad. Its an atmospheric, captivating success — and streaming in full below:
