VAZ– The Lie That Matches The Furniture
This thunderous three piece showcases it's brand of dark and overcast rock
woven magnificently with melodic chaos.think Joy Division and Lightning Bolt
joining forces for a 3am show in your local graveyard. Features members of
legendary Am Rep band Hammerhead.
If Vaz knows anything, it's how to rock the world. Hard. Sporting a musical
stream of consciousness that could quite possibly toss you four feet across
the room, this band will no doubt borrow its way into the deepest, coldest
regions of your heart. Dark, pop melodies combined with frantic backbeat
frenzies. Happy winter.
On their third LP, their first for Narnack, this thunderous three piece
showcases it's brand of dark and overcast rock, a melodically chaotic style
comparable to early Cure and Joy Division. VAZ, however, definitely add
something quite unique to the genre. The Lie That Matches the Furniture's
cold vocals hide shyly behind a sonic wall of sound. A wall so thickened
with crunchy fills and intense, double time madness, you'd swear someone
hired a monstrous bolt of lightning to pull percussion duty. Hovering
spookily above the party are the band's roughly invigorating guitar tones.
Shadowy chords as wrinkled as a winter night; with just the right amount of
dreamy distortion to allow your head to drift high in the sky while your
feet remain firmly lodged into the icy floor.
Guitarist/vocalist Paul Erickson and drummer Jeff Mooridian currently reside
in Brooklyn after spending their formative years in the Mid-West, a quiet,
comfortable place where they were better known as two-thirds of Amphetamine
Reptile's own noise-rocksters, Hammerhead. After the aforementioned band
split up, Paul and Jeff decided to continue their musical journey as a
two-piece under the guise, VAZ. They then moved to Los Angeles for a spell,
consistently touring up and down the Pacific coast.that was of course, until
the noise ordinances and numerous death threats from their downstairs
neighbor sent them heading East. Recently they've met Adam Marx, a guitarist
who had no choice but fall head first into VAZ's coma-rock, creating the
current pyramid displayed perfectly on their new album you hold in your very
hands.
With this brand new 13-track full length, VAZ prove that loud music is good,
but loud rock music is even better. The Lie That Matches the Furniture, just
in time for the cold winter months.
