Kestrels release new single "Vanishing Point"
Canadian shoegaze rockers Kestrels have released their new single “Vanishing Point” today.
The visual for the song, which you can see below, showcases a slew of adorable felines mixed with live footage of the band. When discussing this song, guitarist/vocalist Chad Peck said:
"I liked the idea of the record opening with the band kicking in with this intense and hypnotic riff as opposed to a synth overture or a bunch of sound effects. This is a song where John Agnello took out some of the layered rhythm guitars to open the song up, and as a result it really jumps out of the speakers. He also ran the vocals through a Leslie which is a cool effect.
Lyrically, it’s about recognizing a relationship is ending and the unease that comes with the undeniable, inevitable feeling of collapse, and recognizing distortions in your thinking. It careens between “wanting to hide” and “I don’t want to lie”, reflecting the oscillating feelings involved in letting go. The title comes from the David Markson book of the same name, one of the best I’ve read in the past few years.”
The song stems from Kestrels forthcoming studio album Dream or Don’t Dream, which will be released on July 10 via Darla Records. Pre-orders for the record can be made here.
