SINGLE REVIEW: WIREHOUND - Vandal Van Gogh

I'd like to introduce you to the breathtaking new single 'Vandal Van Gogh' from WIREHOUND. Think atmospheric, emotion-evoking, and somewhat unnerving. A sound that stays with you long after the music stops. Like a drilling in the back of your brain, an immense yearning, a void longing to be filled, a montage of all your darkest thoughts haunting you.

Captivating with stunning strings, 'Vandal Van Gogh' is an engulfing soundscape of immersive 90's inspired indie rock, comparable to the Boo Radleys particularly 'Songs from Blueroom' off their "Kingsize" album. Dreamy and heartfelt, vulnerable, and emotional 'Vandal Van Gough' is a journey into the dark, into all your lonely long-suppressed feelings. It focuses on sentiments of pain, depression, anxiety, and loss delivering them with haunting magnitude and captivating impact. The line; "Life is great if you take out all the needless pain" is one of the most profound lyrics I've heard in a long time.

The vocals have the most stunning tone that fits immaculately with the mesmerising strings, as it swoops and soars high above the clouds taking your breath away at every opportunity.

In short, 'Vandal Van Gogh' is perfect, everything about it works flawlessly. The songwriting is faultless; the words hit deep and last long after the track ends. I'm beyond excited to hear more.

'Vandal Van Gogh' is my single of the week!
