Obligatory Voxtrot Post: Fifteen Minutes

It’s clear by the sold out shows in Austin that Voxtrot is enjoying their return, or at least I hope there’s enjoyment in it. For the fans, songs like the new “Fifteen Minutes” gives us a glimpse at what the band was up to following their debut LP and pre-hiatus. Personally, I think it’s really interesting to see how they were incorporating a lot of what was going on in Austin at the time; I love the noisy edges with the punctuated vocals from Ramesh (who used a similar song structured on his newest album, Eternal Spring). Hats off to the band finally getting all the credit they were rightly due! This song appears on Cut from the Stone: Rarities and B-Sides, out digitally on July 22nd.

Voxtrot Share New-ish Single, Kindergarten

June 23, 2022 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Those of us in Austin, of the old guard I reckon, are super excited about Voxtrot‘s recent activity, from the announcement of shows to the reissuing of some music. Today, they share “Kindergarten,” which is a song they recorded in the mid-00s, but never put out…until it hits on their new Cut from the Stone: Rarities and B-SidesLP. This one has all the makings of classic Voxtrot, from Ramesh’s urgency around the 1:20 mark to the infectious stomp that helps give the song a bit of bounce. Still every bit in love with Ramesh’s voice as I was when I was youngster, but the explosion after the 2 minute mark definitely points to some territory the group were exploring, even when it crashes into this hard-hitting piano burst. Unfortunately, Cut from the Stone is already sold out, but perhaps they’ll have some on hand when they tour in the Fall!
