Brooklyn's Acrylics is the latest band to emerge from the Chairlift/Amazing Baby/MGMT fam that has seen so much success over the last year or so, and based on the handful of songs I've heard from the group thus far, they're roughly one iPod commercial away from blowing up like the rest of that crew. The duo -- Molly Shea and Jason Klauber -- has professed their love for Gram Parsons, Fleetwood Mac, and "really, really crystallized pop from the seventies," and that influence shines bright via Shea's dreamy, wistful yearning on the vaguely "Dreams"-esque "Molly's Vertigo," which the band was kind enough to send over for us:
