Their looped bass lines and poet Iona Lee's commanding, velvety voice conjure a sense of slow-burn hypnosis and just like their music, Acolyte are glamorously unhurried. They've released only a handful of songs in the seven years since Lee and bassist Ruairidh Morrison first started experimenting with jazz, trip-hop and spoken word.

Get ready, Berlin! The city's vibrant art scene is about to experience an electrifying event that defies categorisation.

On November 29 and 30, 2025, at Ballhaus Ost and WABE, prepare to be transported into a shadowy realm where the depths of desire are both explored and celebrated.

To build anticipation, she has shared a new single titled "Cheap Hotel," a track that perfectly encapsulates her talent for weaving disparate influences into something seamless, fresh, and emotionally resonant.
