There’s no better feeling than stumbling across a fantastic band at a festival, especially when you’re "off piste" and what you're watching isn't in the band listings. The sheer vastness of things at Glastonbury festival makes this easy to happen and late on the Saturday night we stumbled into a café tent to see a set by Brighton’s Spalien Acecraft.There are two things you need to know about Spalien Acecraft! Firstly, they tread the crossover area between what is acoustic indiepop and what is antifolk, and secondly, they write genuinely funny lyrics which you enjoy listening to.
The songs are very friendly and we couldn’t help but be drawn into the world of Spalien Acecraft with songs introducing us to the solar system, Jabba the Hutt, and a great song with a call and response section based around the many different Willows there are. ‘Orange for a Head’ was a big crowd pleaser of theirs too.
Sadly, they’ve nothing for download, but they do have some great songs on their myspace which you can listen to.
