This Friday, March 7, ‘Surgery and Pleasure’, the new post-Punk Vundabar trio album is published. This is the 6th Boston Band album, one of those lucky ones who has managed to place a viral on Tik Tok, specifically ‘alien blues’, shared tens of thousands of times associated with different moments. The theme extracted from his 2015 album, ‘Gawk’, adds 600 million streams, remembering that Latin or pop songs circulate in this social network. Ask Beach House and Cigarettes after sex.
Focusing on the new Vundabar album, we know 4 advances of the album. ‘I need you’ and ‘Spades’, around 6 minutes, present developments that are going to interest followers of the first Radiohead or The Horrors, but to start at the beginning, we will recommend ‘I Got Cracked’, edited last year, as a song of the day.
‘I Got Cracked’ is a man and a half -long shot, so good that they seem 2, inciting listening in “repeat” mode. And that urgency has an explanation. The theme, as much of the album, speaks of the “sense of yearning” by singer Brandon Hagen. This is explained: «In a period of 6 weeks that I could only describe as a forced landing, a long -term relationship that I kept, my father died and broke an arm in a hotel while I was on tour. A week after the funeral, I was recording this song in Los Angeles ».
He continues: «I was staggering at the connection between everything that had happened, many of those fractures that were not seen began to be rooted in the physical breakage of my body. This physical breakage dictated the most floating parts of the song, because I was also making music determined by the limitations of my own injury ».
Melodically we are facing one of the best pre-stribes and one of the best choruses in the history of Vundabar, the first of which is as explicit as: “My heart broke, I broke my arm, and then scattered some ashes.” Making heart guts, Vundabar know how to make a fun anthem with all this misfortune, which is noticeable in the musical, but also in the lyrics, which at one time ensures that it cannot “stop laughing” (we assume that for not crying); and in the video clip. The group defines the next album as “a more mature synthesis of everything we have explored before.”
