“Verlaine” by Akrobat, a homage to the legendary Tom Verlaine and his band Television.
Akrobat has launched their new single Verlaine, a homage to the late and legendary American singer and guitarist Tom Verlaine, who led the influential band Television. The song is inspired by Verlaine and his fellow guitarist Richard Lloyd’s vivid characterisation of Television’s rock masterpiece, Marquee Moon (1977), as having emerged “sounding like overdone pasta”. The song also contemplates how something that was once novel and thrilling, such as television, becomes commonplace, and is eventually superseded by something new.
Verlaine exhibits a new band formation for Akrobat, who have recruited a new lead vocalist, Selen Korkutan, to their ensemble. Korkutan, who is also a skilful songwriter and producer, contributes a haunting and intricate vocal style to the song, enhancing the melodic earworm hook. The track commences with a propulsive bass guitar riff, then progressively intensifies with crisp, thumping drums and shimmering vocals.
Verlaine is a thrilling single that crackles and commands your attention until the final note. It is a testament to Akrobat’s virtuosic abilities and their flair for creating sophisticated and modern sounding rock music. Verlaine is the first single from Akrobat’s forthcoming EP.
