FUELLED by an unbridled sense of innovation and refreshing eccentricity, The Vegan Leather are quite frankly one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Scotland in some time.
Looking to build on a fruitful 2016 that saw them establish themselves as one of the country’s hottest prospects, the band’s stratospheric rise to stardom looks set to continue throughout 2017. Heralding in this new exciting stage of their career, the art-pop outfit have unveiled the irrepressible ‘Shake It’ as their debut single.
Already a firm favourite as part of their thrilling live shows, this new production reinforces the band’s commandeering approach to the art-pop genre as they continue to carve out their own individual niche in the Scottish music scene.
Exploring the unique boy-girl dynamic that has proven so compelling to fans and critics alike, it is the inimitable musical chemistry between Marie Collins and Gianluca Bernacchi that lies at the heart of the track; Collins’ soft and alluring vocal providing the perfect foil to the frontman’s commanding delivery. Boasting a solid foundation of funky basslines and synths, it quickly develops into a heady mix of sparkling choruses and sweet harmonies before a truly explosive finale; gang-like chants of ‘Shake It!’ bellowing out over a blast of heavy guitar-funk and head-spinning electronica as the track draws to an almighty finish.
Utterly infectious, eccentric and invigorating from start to finish, it is a song made to be performed live in front of the masses. It went down a storm when the band launched their very own club night ‘Midnight Pink’ last night (16th March) at Broadcast. Check it out below:
