'Alien' nation: East Village duo the Acute release debut full-length record

Photos by Stacie Joy

The Acute, the East Village-based duo of Viveca Butler and Stephen Cacouris, have just released their debut full-length release, Alien Théâtre. 

For now, you can find the smashing record on Bandcamp ... as well as on streaming services, including Spotify and Apple. (A vinyl release is forthcoming.)

On this occasion, EVG contributor Stacie Joy tagged along with the two, who are also a couple outside the band, as they shopped for records in the East Village ...

Keep tabs on the band via Instagram. And catch the lo-fi noisemakers on June 25 at Heaven Can Wait on Avenue A.

You can read our band Q&A from December right here.
