Combining the off-kilter fuzz of mid-90\u2019s grunge aligned against abreactive passages of noise, left-of-centre shoegaze and the bleak doom of psych-infused stoner rock, Vaureen create a brooding, nihilistic sound, steeped in a raw energy and honesty that could shake even the most apathetic listener. With an acclaimed EP behind them along with a number of US live dates under their belt, the band are now set to release their debut album \u2018Extraterra\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Vaureen\u2019s forthcoming album exhibits their unique brand of ethereal yet intensely foreboding alt-rock, which could be equated to the sound of early-The Breeders meets Fugazi meets Chelsea Wolfe meets The Sword. Tracks such as <em>Stare Into The Sun<\/em> showcase vocalist Andrea Horne\u2019s sonorous and dynamic vocals while stripped back instrumentation seamlessly transforms into atmospheric shoegaze infused post-rock, driven forward by a powerful rhythm section. The entire album is flooded with progressive moments like this with songs evolving at every opportunity. You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking the band might have some affiliation with Sargent House, but despite having these moments of beguiling familiarity their music remains entirely distinctive. Elsewhere, you can hear a much heavier set of influences such as on <em>Forms Beyond My Own<\/em>, where fuzz laced guitars descend into doom-inspired riffs, becoming more caustic, whilst also hinting at their more experimental influences.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded by long-time friend and esteemed producer Aaron Bastinelli (Fun Sound Studio), \u2018Extraterra\u2019 sees Vaureen release their most dynamic and consummate material to date. Speaking about the album, Andrea Horne (vocals\/guitar) says, <em>\u201cI came to music from an art background and I have a form of synesthesia. For me the album is highly visual.\u00a0The title comes from my personal interest in spaces beyond direct perception, both within and without\u2026 like Carl Sagan\u2019s\u00a0Pale Blue Dot\u00a0and Charles &amp; Ray Eames\u2019 Powers Of Ten.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Debut albums boasting the dexterity of \u2018Extraterra\u2019 are extremely rare. Vaureen refuse strict categorisation and in doing so have produced an incredibly textured record, which is all at once dark, pensive, expansive and airy, and will appeal to many both on and beneath the surface.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gnd-corner-image gnd-corner-image-center gnd-corner-image-bottom aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i2.cmail19.com\/ei\/j\/C6\/AB7\/5C0\/194047\/csfinal\/Vaureen-extraterra-cover-lo.png?resize=600%2C630\" alt=\"Vaureen Extraterra cover\" width=\"600\" height=\"630\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Brooklyn trio Vaureen have shared their new single Stare Into The Sun, and also announce new album &#8216;Extraterra&#8217; due out 26th October via Rising Pulse <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=29559\" title=\"Vaureen share new single &#8216;Stare Into The Sun&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30,5812],"tags":[7642,7643,7640,7641],"class_list":["post-29559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","category-shoegaze","tag-extraterra","tag-rising-pulse-records","tag-stare-into-the-sun","tag-vaureen"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/vaureen-2015-2-lo.jpg?fit=680%2C454&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7GL","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":35726,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=35726","url_meta":{"origin":29559,"position":0},"title":"Gezellig Records releases Japan\u2019s Stomp Talk Modstone\u2019s shoegaze record","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"February 26, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Gezellig Records has announced the newest signee to their roster, all the way from Japan\u2026Stomp Talk Modstone.
