Wilmington’s stalwart of garage-rock, Grace Vonderkuhn, has recently unveiled her brand new track Most Loved. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it makes sense that Grace Vonderkuhn chose to premiere the track. She partnered up with the fast-growing music blog ThrdCoast to release Most Loved, but you can take a listen via Soundcloud below.
“Though the Wilmington-bred musician has just seven releases to her name (each of which features Grace on guitar, bass, percussion, and keys), she’s made it obvious she has a knack for psychy garage rock, dream pop, and everything in between. Her Bandcamp says her home-recorded tunes are “for true believers,” and suffice it to say, I’m a believer.” – Raquel Dalarossa, ThrdCoast
