PERTH’S BRAINFADE SHARE ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF DEBUT TRACK ‘HOUDINI’

Brainfade, an alternative rock band from the great city of Perth, are back today with a stripped-back, acoustic version of their debut single ‘Houdini’. After gaining a lot of traction and love from multiple outlets and people all over when the track was initially released earlier this year, Brainfade have now delivered a rendition of the song that shows a lot of heart and soul poured into it with it’s softer approach through acoustic guitar and raw vocals.

Frontman Chris Pearce says, “Houdini is an introspective exploration of the desire to escape the hustle and bustle of social gatherings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to balance social expectations while staying true to oneself.”

Beautifully drifting through this ultimate experience, we sink deep into ‘Houdini’ from the start. The light and gentle finger plucking on the guitar fully creates an ambient space for listeners as the passionate vocals blissfully sweep over the top to help create that real, intimate atmosphere that instantly has you relaxing and vibing. It fully highlights the beautiful vocals from Chris Pearce as well as the strong lyrics where, as it’s an absolute contrast to the original track that focused a lot more on the alt-rock instrumentations. It just goes to show how songs can be transformed completely with the different sounds of instruments and vocals to give them a totally new vibe and meaning.

This acoustic version of “Houdini” is timeless and one that we won’t be forgetting easily. Totally and utterly captivated by the first few notes in the intro all the way to the end of the song - it really is a terrific rendition of an already incredible, well-written track. Brainfade are yet another Perth band that is high at the top of our favoutires and we cannot wait to hear more from them in the future.
