Vistas - 'Is This All We Are?'
Vistas have announced their brand new album 'Is This All We Are?' alongside sharing the euphoric title track.
Vistas are back on the scene just in time for summer with the title track of their highly anticipated third studio album. ‘Is This All We Are?’ is reminiscent of their typical sound, and the band have said ‘the question posed in the title informed the theme of the entire record.’ It comes off the back of the first single released from the record ‘Last Together.’ The newer track is softer sounding than the first, with their classic sound of electric guitars and impressive drums. The track will suit fans of The Killers, as it has a nod of inspiration through the production.
Vistas are playing slots at Reading and Leeds Festivals this summer, and their set will be one to catch. This song will adapt nicely to suit festival crowds, a perfect song to have crowds sing back to the stage with its simple chorus, which just repeats the track’s title. The pre-chorus is the main joy, which builds up and then allows for a more stripped back tune underneath the main choruses. The band break up the song by showcasing instrumentals they play so electrically. The track offers classic Indie Rock, with some dance pop laced in, and creates the perfect soundtrack for summer days.
The full album ‘Is This All We Are?’ is released September 15th, and the band are due back on the road in November for their European tour.
