lament

The journey VINTED VINEER has taken that has led them to the release of a brand new collection of music in LAMENT, is one that has seen the Brisbane indie group evolve into one of the city’s most exciting fresh names. 

LAMENT is the culmination of memories, moments of reflection and introspection; charting one’s navigation through a broad spectrum of emotions, against the backdrop of a fleshed out fusion of sounds. Encompassing indie, psychedelic and alternative musical elements, VINTED VINEER confidently pushed themselves into new creative territory in bringing this project together and as they describe, the end result lands “almost like a journal”.

“The title felt right straight away. It’s simple, but it captures a pretty complex emotional space. There’s a sense of it being a complaint, or just an outlet, which ties everything together. Compared to our earlier work, the album feels more direct and controlled. Less washed out, more intentional. 

There’s no big overarching message, it’s just an honest set of songs with their own character, written in a time that was sometimes a bit heavy, but also really enjoyable creatively. By the end of the record, I just want people to feel like they understand where I’m coming from, and maybe take a small piece of it with them.” VINTED VINEER

Featuring tracks like the previously released singles ‘blockspitter’, ‘underthetable’ and ‘you’, LAMENT has seen VINTED VINEER explore darker, textured sonic notes whilst also letting their natural talents as lyricists and performers shine. Lead track ‘mirage’ is a perfect example of how the band let feelings of melancholy blend with a spirit of experimentation in the studio, in bringing together a song that feels heavier and more layered than previous work.
