Akrobat – Trumpet Ain’t No Gun | Dublin Indie-Electronica

Akrobat Explodes onto the Scene with New Single “Trumpet Ain’t No Gun”

Dublin’s music scene is no stranger to innovation, but every so often, a project emerges that feels truly metamorphic. Enter Akrobat, the Dublin-based Indie-Electronica outfit led by songwriter and composer Shane Regan. Today, the band further cements their reputation as one of Ireland’s most exciting exports with the release of their latest single, “Trumpet Ain’t No Gun.”

If you haven’t yet dived into the sonic world of Akrobat, consider this your formal invitation.

A Star in the Making: The Sound of Akrobat

The heart of Akrobat’s unique appeal lies in the interplay between Regan’s avant-garde compositions and the powerhouse vocals of Turkish singer Selen Korkutan. Stuart Clarke of Hot Press hit the nail on the head when he described the band as “thrillingly modern,” noting that Korkutan is quite simply “a star in the making.”

Their sound is a fearless blend of:

  • Indie & Art-Rock: For those who crave structure with a side of rebellion.

  • Electronica: Pulsating rhythms that push the boundaries of the genre.

  • Metamorphic Energy: A sound that refuses to sit still, evolving with every track.

Critical Acclaim: What the Experts Are Saying

It isn’t just the fans who are taking notice. The industry’s most respected voices have been quick to champion Akrobat’s rise:

“You are in for a treat here.” — Paul Fitzpatrick, The Goo

“Future Irish gems.” — Eoin O’Donnell, The Irish Times

“They deserve your attention (and ears). A band to watch.” — Chase McMullen, Beats Per Minute

The Evolution: From Jammed Space to “Trumpet Ain’t No Gun”

Akrobat’s discography is a testament to their restless creativity. Since their debut, they have consistently shifted gears without losing their core identity:

Release Year Title Style/Vibe
2022 Jammed Space Movement (LP) Sprawling Art-Rock
