New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today (3.26), Scarypoolparty announces �The Acoustic Tour�, a 16-show solo acoustic tour set for this June. Throughout 2020, this �rare virtuoso� (MTV) performed a series of live streams for the likes of Billboard, BeeApp, Inside Lands and MelodyVR, plus streams for LA venues The Roxy, The Wiltern and Hotel Cafe. Kicking off June 4 in Tempe, AZ, this upcoming socially-distanced tour is among the first post-pandemic artist tour announcements and marks his first round of dates coming this year. Pre-sale for The Acoustic Tour kicks off Friday, March 26th (password: Paradise). Public on-sale begins on Saturday, March 27th.
The 2020 pandemic lockdown was a time of trailblazing creativity for Scarypoolparty (aka Alejandro Aranda), during which he gained artistic momentum and expanded his audience. The year included the critically-acclaimed EP DOOM HOLOGRAM, which was featured on NPR New
Music Friday, Billboard, The Wild
Honey Pie and Forbes, who called it �an incredibly visual and cinematic work.� Now with an arsenal of never-before-heard music, is ready for a big 2021.
Last month, he released his single �Home,� a dark meditation on longing and loneliness blending organic acoustic elements with electronic samples, which landed on Spotify�s Chill Pop and Creativity Boost playlists, Apple Music�s New Alternative Playlist, Amazon�s Breakthrough Alternative and more. He�s also been surprising fans with new music on his YouTube channel, releasing videos for tracks �Cellphones� and �The Darkness�, plus a 51-minute minute piano improv.
Out this Friday (3.26), LOS ANGELES(via Hollywood Records) is his first major release of 2021 and a product of the stillness of the past year. Co-produced by SAWYR (Taylor Swift, ZAYN, Nicki Minaj) and Scarypoolparty, the new EP is a complex mix of The Weeknd-esque alt-R&B with a jazz-inspired rock vibe. These songs are filled with raw, introspective honesty and Scarypoolpary�s signature probing lyrics and addictive hooks.
�From the outside, a lot of people think of LA as this paradise,�
Aranda explains, �but living here, you see a lot of people hurting, a lot of people in pain that no one wants to talk about.�
LOS ANGELES is undoubtedly Scarypoolparty�s most candid yet, facing anxiety and isolation with his heart affixed firmly to his sleeve. Across the EP, he tackles heartbreak and disillusionment (�Overdone� and �Room Full of Cards�) alongside the stark realities of living in Los Angeles and the ongoing opioid epidemic (�Paradise). The EP�s �pristine� (Rock Sound) trap single, �Universe� featuring emo-rapper nothing,nowhere. finds Scarypooparty flippantly addressing the immense uncertainty of the world. Alternative Press called it an �epic track filled with distorted lyrics and sick keys,� Watch/listen.
Scarypoolparty has consistently emerged as one of the industry�s standout creators whose underdog story is almost too good to be true. �Reminiscent of the genre-blending of Post Malone� (Alternative Press) and �lane adjacent to that of Muse,
Deftones and Radiohead� (HITS), Scarypoolparty�s steady stream of inventive hits has helped him amass over 15 million combined streams to date and a social following of more than 700K.
Stay tuned for more new music from Scarypoolparty.
