NEW MUSIC – Vandella
Is it my real life or just a fantasy…
by Walter Price
San Francisco based harmonies to perfection Vandella is many things but certainly not resting themselves on any particular sonic perch. The California outfit have been compared to a smörgåsbord of historic names and rightly so. There is a sense of timelessness in their airy soulful indie rock sounds.
Their new single “A Feeling I’d Forgotten” from their forthcoming second release Strange Calls (due out April) is a laid-back offering that has thoughts of a delicious concoction The Blank Tapes, Big Star and, yes, Buckingham Nicks (the album ’73). The atmosphere is all there; easy, inviting and foundations of woodsy texture that carry the listener right along Vandella’s beautiful melodic ocean breeze.
This track is summer preparation…
Vandella: Tracey Holland, Chris Tye, Fritz Mueller, Dan Miller-Schroeder, TJ Mimbs
