VANGOUGH To Release Acoustic Scars EP On December 18th
December 10, 2012, 11 years ago
Twelve hours to Atlanta. Twelve hours back. In that time Oklahoma-city band VANGOUGH developed the idea behind their latest creation, Acoustic Scars, which will appeal to both fans and new listeners with its haunting arrangement of cello, violin and djembe. Once again mixed by long-time collaborator Sterling Winfield and housed in a beautiful glossy jacket, this five-song EP serves as a chilling narrative chronicling the band’s career.
Blending a distinct Eastern European folk flavor with hard rock roots, Acoustic Scars is a soundscape of raw emotion. Beginning with a dreary and atmospheric instrumental before segueing into the marquee track 'A Song For Crows' and the Latin-flavored 'Throne Of Rust', the EP closes in celebratory fashion with the Watership Down-inspired suite 'The Rabbit Chronicles'. Vangough's latest creation, releasing on December 18th via Bandcamp and CDBaby, provides a thoughtful and dramatic musical twist that will hold fans over until the arrival of their third studio album in 2013.
