Track premiere: VASA – 'Poseidon's Kiss'

After a few years of honing their skills on the live circuit (most recently at Bristol's excellent ArcTanGent festival), prolific Glasgow post-rockers VASA offer a glimpse of their anticipated debut album. 

Finding the mean between Minus the Bear's emotive sparkle and Russian Circles' devastating groove, this final track from Colours sees the group firing on all cylinders. 

"Poseidon's Kiss is the last song on our album Colours and serves as a glimpse into how our band’s sound has evolved as well as a look into where we are progressing to as a unit," says bassist John Niblock.

"The track will come as a surprise to those who have been listening to us for the last few years as the lead up to the finale of the track can only be described as 'dancey' but there is still the usual crushing post-rock vibes that we are known for. Poseidon's Kiss is one of our collective favourites on the album and is a track that we feel has a sound that encompasses not only the usual post-rock sensibilities but has a very genre-spanning feel to it. It was the perfect way to end Colours and we are immensely proud of it, as we are of the whole album."
