Video Age Share Is It Really Over (Levitation Artist)

Leave a comment

Next week is Levitation; it’s also the week of Video Age‘s new LP hitting the streets! Why would that matter? Well, you actually get both together, at the band are part of the festival’s line-up! But, let’s put that aside for the moment, and listen to the group’s latest single on Away From the Castle. This one’s a true slow burner, crafting nostalgic pop vibes through the first minute and a half, then dropping in a sick beat to get a little bounce beneath your feet. They flesh the track out too, letting some little vocal samples and washes of electronics kind of crest in the middle of the tune, all of it reminding me of thoughtful pop like Radio Dept. or Red Sleeping Beauty. If, like me, you’re coming to the festival next weekend, be sure you’ve got the band on your radar, and if not, grab the new LP from Winspear.

Video Age Share Golden Sun (Levitation Artist)

If ever there was a song title that established the mood of the song for the listener, then it has to be this new track from Video Age. For starters, there’s this lightness to the track, almost playful like the first rays of Spring after a long dark Winter; the airy nature sets up the abundant melodic nature you can’t escape. Speaking of that melody, whether it pops up in the notes from the keys or the vocals, it blankets you in this striking warmth, crisp and golden, as the song title would suggest. The band release Away from the Castle on October 27th via Winspear…then celebrate two days later at Levitation!

Video Age Share Better Than Ever

Wanted to toss a bit of joy into your listening rotation today, especially as I love the funky bop of this fresh Video Age tune. Honestly, it reminds me in construction, of early Chromeo, playing with burying really deep hooks in a track that eventually rise and hit you right in the face. That said, the New Orleans project slings it about with a little bit more modernity, tossing in dreamy notes behind the rhythmic bounce; the vocals have a nice little melodic curl, never stretching beyond their boundaries, continuing to let the hook of the tune evolve. They’ll release Away From the Castle on October 27th via Winspear.

 

Video Age Share Away from the Castle

It’s really hard to put my feelings into words when listening to this new track from Video Age. The song’s not really doing anything crazy different from acts like Real Estate or the like, but something in the way the production and execution are done is supremely gratifying. It all starts with that steady snappy percussive piece; it propels the track forward, allowing the guitars to hit some really crisp notes. Those notes jangle and churn, seemingly dancing around the deliciously dreamy vocals…that actually remind me of early Teenage Fanclub (weird that I wrote about the Teenies earlier today!). Jam the title track from the band’s forthcoming Away from the Castle, out October 27th via Winspear.
