Our Take

Prepare to be transported into a whimsical world of sonic delight with VESSELS' latest album, The Great Distraction. Combining elements of electronic, indie, and post-rock, this eclectic masterpiece is a true rollercoaster for the ears.

From the opening track "Minds on Fire," with its pulsating synths and infectious beats, to the hauntingly beautiful "Deflect the Light," featuring the ethereal vocals of The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, VESSELS take us on a musical journey like no other.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Radiart," a hypnotic blend of intricate loops and captivating melodies that will have you hitting the repeat button over and over again. The swirling synths and driving percussion create a sense of urgency that is impossible to resist.

But it's not all high energy on The Great Distraction. Tracks like "Erase the Tapes" and "Gløwer" offer a more introspective and contemplative side to VESSELS' sound, showcasing their versatility and depth as musicians.

Overall, The Great Distraction is a triumph of experimentation and creativity, a testament to VESSELS' status as pioneers in the world of electronic music. So sit back, relax, and let this album take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
