Upbeat Number from Rory McVicar

June 5, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

In the past, Rory McVicar has definitely hit upon some of the cornerstones of indiepop, but its never been more apparent than the spritely guitar he employs on his latest singer. It takes that light jangle shuffle, mixes it with his breezy melodies and makes you swoon. There’s nice little touches too, like the tinkering piano or the distant sound of birds at work. Rory’s hard at work finishing up his third album, but if you have a quick minute or two to enjoy your life, then I suggest you start right here.

New Music from Rory McVicar

April 12, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve posted previously about Rory McVicar, but this time around, you’re getting a slightly different sound from the London songwriter. The verses have this huge fuzzy guitar riffing in your ears, which gives the song a heavier tone…that’s slight contrast to McVicar’s early works. But, in that he’s able to connect the dots by offering up a pleasant pop croon during the choruses; this allows Rory to bring in new fans, while still adhering to what’s made him so dear to our hearts. He’s finishing up the touches on his latest LP, so expect to hear more from him in the very near future.

New Music from Rory McVicar

November 15, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve let Rory McVicar grace our little site before, and his newest song is proof that I was on to something special. It begins in almost a melancholy fashion, slowly unfolding from the opening moments…give it about a minute. Then, just as you settled, the drums kick in, there’s a bit of a bounce and the song takes on almost an indiepop fashion. Eventually, the song fades out into experimental drones, but the impression should have been felt from the get-go. You’ll hear this track on Rory’s new record Wednesday Week, which comes out in the very near future.

Enjoying This Rory McVicar Tune

December 14, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Rory McVicar has been writing music out of the UK for some time, but I’m not going to lie about the fact that I only recently discovered his tunes by way of a few brand new songs that have been making the rounds. I’m particularly fond of the B-Side on his new limited 7″; it’s living in a realm somewhere between singer-songwriter and dreamy indiepop. This track’s light and playful, though the lyrical content tends to be far more affecting. I’ve found it hard to turn away from this tune all day, though the A-Side isn’t anything to shake your head at either. Look for the 7″ on January 19th via Static Caravan.
