Vinyl Thief’s new single “Stop Motion” was released January 30th in anticipation of their EP (also “Stop Motion”) hitting TOMORROW. The track opens with cathartic piano and urgent drums, overlaid by vocalist Grayson Proctor crooning sweet, calming things like “precious little soul-“. The whole EP is deft, dreamy, and studded with unexpected twists, breakdowns, and tempo changes that make the listening experience more like an Easter egg hunt. For eggs filled with lightning. Their sound is so completely, flawlessly realized that it’s easier to imagine the band materializing naked and clutching synthesizers in a dark alley like a couple of T-800s than ever muddling through awkward living room/garage sessions.
