The members of TheAcesOfficial, all hailing from Orem, talk about the 'realness and vulnerability' of making music about their Utah roots and their queer identity on their third album, 'I've Loved You For So Long.'
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cristal said her panic attacks were at an all-time high. To crack the code of why, the band searched for the source — and found they were largely influenced by the way they grew up, something that still affects them all today.
It’s apparent in such songs as “Always Get This Way” and “Don’t Freak,” both pop-driven explorations of anxiety. There’s also, “Surburban Blues” a song that could pass as the love child of The Cure and The Smiths, with a distinct pop-punk flair and direct lyrics like “Good girls love Jesus, not that girl from Phoenix.”— where they are headlining, June 17 in American Fork — to sing about being queer so close to their hometown.
For a long time, Alisa said, the band has been the four women’s safe space, so to come back to that felt cathartic, like a full-circle moment. The poetry is so strong that Henderson joked that their fans tell them they should sell dictionaries at the merch table. The result is an album coded specifically for mid 20s existentialism, set to a soundtrack of soul-hitting guitar riffs, ethereal vocals and perfect production. Think Paramore, with a softer and dreamier sound.
