Glasgow instrumental post-rock quartet VASA are set to release their debut album ‘Colours’ on 16th October 2015 and are streaming new track ‘Fat Ronaldo’ in full below.
The band will be appearing at Mugstock, ArcTanGent and Carefully Planned Festival over the coming months with further headline tour dates still to be announced.
A roaring introduction to the sheer power and raw talent behind this explosive and frantically inventive album, the track serves to highlight their expert use of euphoric, melodic lead lines and constantly changing rhythms that recall both their wealth of Celtic musical heritage and the contemporary influence of peers including Explosions In The Sky, And So I Watch You From Afar, Battles, and Sigur Ros.
With a racing duo of guitars capable of dragging even the most retiring wall-flower kicking and screaming to their feet, if you’re still in your chair by the end of Fat Ronaldo’s pulse-racing crescendo then you can’t possibly be a human being with a functioning soul.
‘Colours’ is released 16th October 2015
