GROWING from humble beginnings to become a unique force among their contemporaries and one of the leading lights of Scotland’s music scene, Paisley’s The Vegan Leather have regularly proven themselves to be a truly special proposition that is imbued with endless potential.
With a sought-after place on the The Great Escape bill secured and an impending support slot alongside their self-professed heroes Phoenix at The Barrowlands illuminating the way towards a massive year for the ambitious four piece, TTV are delighted to bring you the exclusive first listen of their new single ‘I Take American.’
Built around fluorescently vibrant synths and the sort of formidable display from the rhythm section that has gradually become a calling card of their sound, their newest release sees the band take aim at the enroaching and beligerent nature of stateside ideals and the nation’s power to all but homeogenise western culture at every turn. Featuring charismatic vocal interplay from Gianluca Bernacchi and Marie Collins, ‘I Take American’ is a masterful example of delivering a profound message without any trace of preachy heavy-handedness whilst retaining the key tenets of their brand of idiosyncratic dance-pop escapism that they’re now so widely adored for.
Produced at Chem19 by the band themselves before the reins were handed to WHITE’s Lewis Andrew for mixing, ‘I Take American’ is available on all streaming platforms from today.
