Vinyl Club #13: Vansire "Angel Youth"






From Kid With a Vinyl's August, 2018 album review:

"I’ve always been a person that pays attention to the way artists choose to structure their track listings in order to give their listeners the best possible experience, and part of the initial overall beauty of Angel Youth is that it more than takes this into consideration – it possesses a remarkable sense of fluidity, a beautifully subtle electric current coursing through its seventeen tracks despite the inclusion of so many different techniques and styles, including everything from bedroom pop to jazz (the trumpet solo in “KW” from Kyle Matthees is not to be missed), even at times minimalist compositions any Steve Reich fan would immediately fall in love with.

"None fight viciously for your attention – instead they work together seamlessly, emitting a sense of peace and quiescence even in its most complex, emotional moments, impressive considering the duo recorded, mixed, and mastered everything on their own (with the exception of Winemiller’s brother Issac on bass for a handful of tracks) in just under a year."
