Our Take

Varsity's latest release, "The Basement Takes," takes us on a journey into the depths of their DIY sound, capturing the raw energy and intimacy of their live performances. The album kicks off with the punchy and infectious "Second Act," setting the tone for what's to come. Lead vocalist Stephanie Smith's dreamy vocals float effortlessly over the jangly guitars and driving rhythms, creating a perfect balance of moody introspection and catchy hooks. Tracks like "A Friend Named Paul" and "Alien Angel" showcase Varsity's ability to craft lush, layered soundscapes that draw you in and keep you hooked. The band's knack for crafting relatable lyrics about the trials and tribulations of young adulthood shines through on tracks like "Must Be Nice" and "Sad Dreams," while the shimmering synths and shimmering melodies of "The Drawing Board" provide a welcome dose of escapism. Overall, "The Basement Takes" is a testament to Varsity's evolution as a band, combining their signature indie pop sound with a newfound sense of urgency and maturity. It's an album that's equal parts infectious and introspective, and one that'll have you hitting repeat before you know it. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and get ready to dive into Varsity's sonic world - you won't be disappointed.
