The Vine by fluung
The Vine begins with the insistent thudding of the kick drum, an urgency propelling the first song “Hold On” into brilliant action. Prior releases by Fluung like the Big River EP in 2020 or 2019’s Satellite Weather were equally full of brilliant riffs, but The Vine is by far its most energetic release. While hearty guitar solos still blossom in pockets between verses and choruses, these songs trade the patient meandering for more direct songs that are briefer in run time but still packed with catchy riffs and vocal melodies ripe for singalongs in a crowded room.
The titular single “The Vine'' shows what makes Fluung so special. It’s a dynamic song with a richness on the low end, wistful melodies and a shredding guitar solo that’ll get stuck in your head all day. It’s the kind of song that you can submerge yourself in, listening to it just a bit too loud.
Fluung’s The Vine will be released October 14, 2022 on Setterwind Records (vinyl) and Den Tapes (cassette tape). It will be available digitally October 14, 2022 and on vinyl the same day. Preorders for the vinyl and tapes begin September 9. - Gem Fair
