Virginia Trance Shares New Single

I was scrambling this morning for tunes that fit my mood; nothing was really fitting my day until I came across this new track from Virgina Trace. The description claims nods to Felt and the Dream Syndicate, but it also feels like its steeped in the current sound of Australia…though the project is based in New York. It’s got that bright folk attitude, set in the most casual manner, as if the pace of the day is absolutely meaningless…which feels oddly like the current state of the world. It’s a pleasant Tuesday ditty off Vincent’s Playlist, the new LP dropping on May 8th via BYM Records.

Virginia Trance Announce Vincent’s Playlist

March 3, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’m a big Psychic Ills fan, so I’ve always been closely following Virginia Trance, the side-project of Scott Ryan Davis. He’s just announced a new record for the project, Vincent’s Playlist, and does so with this sprawling ode to Lou Reed stretching over 5 minutes. To a certain degree, patience is the name of the game with this tune; it almost entrances the listener on first listen; your repeat listens will begin to reveal details like the saxophone and its correlating guitar lines. This song feels like it’s an experiment in the craft of songwriting, with the album promising to incorporate a few rough edges, but here it’s all about the undeniable allure of good old guitar rock. Vincent’s Playlist drops on May 8th via BYM Records.
