Vansire – Taking Solace (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Josh Augustin and Sam Winemiller have spent the better part of a decade quietly building one of indie pop's most thoughtful bodies of work, blending dreamy textures with lyrics that actually grapple with how it feels to live right now. Twenty-one tracks pressed on double gatefold vinyl signals real ambition from a duo that has always rewarded close listening, and Taking Solace arrives at a moment when that kind of care feels genuinely necessary.
Double gatefold vinyl. Vansire's latest album, Taking Solace, finds them reaching for love as a means of comfort and connection, a balm as society's edges ever-sharpen. Toeing the line between melancholy and optimism with some of their strongest, most mature and straightforward songwriting, Vansire frame the act of taking solace as valid, positive, even political. Taking Solace offers a markedly softer gesture toward the times following 2022's Modern Western World, which was written from Minneapolis amidst it's civil flashpoint. Augustin and Winemiller have come out of the past few years, like many of us, fatigued yet focused on their immediate universe, doing what they can for the people they love, resisting greed-fueled regimes - home and abroad, environmental and technological - with enthusiasm for life.
