Vandalye - 'Blame The Record'
Immerse yourself in the thrilling sounds of indie rock outfit Vandalye’s current single, ‘Blame The Record’.
Ambient alt folk guitars flitter in and out of pulsating synth on the intro to Vandalye’s , ‘Blame The Record’ setting an exhilarating and fluid backdrop to lead singer Scott Attew’s brooding vocal. Vandalye seem to draw upon atmospheric 80s influences to create an, evocative, adrenaline-pumping, percussive synth driven sound that explores the melancholy of feeling anxiety and depression on a daily basis, “I feel like i’m in the middle of the ocean without a boat I’ll drown'“.
But the song journeys on with real purpose, driving into a beautifully cathartic and spiritual climax, leaving its listener feeling lighter.
Dubai based outfit Vandalye consists of identical twins Lucas and Thomas McCone alongside Attew and ‘Blame The Record’ marks the three-piece’s first release since their noteworthy album, ‘Cigarettes & Minarets’ earlier this year. This is an outfit who exhibit a spine-tingling aura that leaves their listener wanting to come back for more fresh hits of authentic emotion.
