Cranking That New Voxtrot Jam

We hear at ATH are super excited for the forthcoming Voxtrot record, and another song means another moment we can take to celebrate the work of the group. On my end, I think the sparkle in this track comes from Ramesh’s voice; he captures this majesty and exhibits such range that it reminds me of his incredible songwriting prowess. Don’t get me wrong…if the rhythm section weren’t as tight and playful beneath the surface, none of it would come off as successfully as it does here. Plus, there’s the horn arrangements that add in a layer of texture that lifts the melody right into your ears. It doesn’t hurt that the video sees a group smiling and enjoying themselves once again…which perhaps is equally as powerful as the song itself. Dreamers in Exile will be out February 27th!

Belated Voxtrot Coverage

When Voxtrot reconvened a few years back, I was over the moon, both for myself and for the band. They dropped a few LPs, one of combined 7″ singles and the other a rarities compilation…and we all felt like this could be the band making it back for good. Yesterday, news broke that the band are officially releasing a new LP, recorded at bassist Jason Chronis’ studio in Lockhart. The new lineup is a little bit slimmer, but huge Austin music fans will notice the sparkling backing vocals from Jennifer Moore, whose band Deep Time is sorely missed in my opinion. On the new song, you can hear the driving rhythm section, which is one of the band’s strongpoints, allowing Ramesh to weave his storytelling through these stellar pop moments. Really happy to hear they’ve got a whole new record, Dreamers in Exile (February 27), and looking forward to seeing the band when they hit the road in the Spring.
