Emerging US four-piece The Aces continue their stunning rise with the release of their second album Under My Influence.

The record, out now via Red Bull Records, is the follow up to acclaimed debut When My Heart Felt Volcanic – the effort that sparked their ascent to the top.

It saw the Utah-based act, which consists of sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez, McKenna Petty and Katie Henderson, amass a staggering 80 million+ streams, sell out their own US headline tour, and support Aussie pop sensations 5 Seconds of Summer.

Fans were wowed by brand of indie pop with relatable themes of growing up and falling in love in the 21st century.

Under My Influence will certainly keep the trajectory firmly towards the heady heights thanks to the dizzyingly catchy single Daydream, and Lost Angeles – a bittersweet ode to love and loss in the City of Angels.

Daydream also generated more than 1.5 million streams during its first week and earned slots on Spotify New Music Friday playlists in more than 18 countries.

2020 is set to be another landmark year for The Aces.

Daily Star Online caught up with them to talk about Under My Influence, growing up in Utah and its music scene, their career so far, and influences.

You release your sophomore album Under My Influence in June via Red Bull Records. What was the writing and recording process like? Were you influenced by anything and are there themes running through it?

“We had the time of our lives making Under My Influence. It feels very much like we’ve broken into something deeper and more vulnerable.

“The whole process felt really freeing – like we were creating just for the love of it and saying everything we felt, unapologetically. For those reasons, these songs mean so much to us.”

Who were your influences growing up – either musically or personally? Who admires you in the music industry?

“We all draw a lot of inspiration from 70s-80s music. From disco music like Earth Wind and Fire, to alternative classics like The Cure. Between the four of us, there are a lot of different tastes.”

You’ve sold out headline US, UK and European tours and supported 5 Seconds of Summer. What did you take from these shows? How does performing live compare to the recording studio?

“Supporting 5SOS was one of the best experiences of our career so far. Their fans are some of the most energetic, devoted fans we’ve ever played to. To then get to headline and play our own shows and see that same energy and love from our own fans, was mind blowing. Definitely one of our proudest moments.

“Touring and recording are totally different worlds. We love them both for different reasons, but there’s really nothing like playing live.”

What are your hopes for the year ahead? Do you have an ultimate goal?

“We want to keep creating and staying connected to our fans. At a time like this, when we are unable to do most of the things that we love as artists, we just want to keep making things, staying creative, and connecting with the people that make all of this possible for us.”
