VHS or Beta Announce New Abum, Unleash "I Found A Reason" MP3!

VHS or Beta Diamonds & Death (September 27, Krian Music Group/Chromosome Records)

Download the “I Found A Reason” MP3





VHS or Beta’s upcoming fourth album, Diamonds & Death, is a journey full of thrilling moments and unexpected turns. The album’s electronic foundation is a byproduct of the many nights VHS OR BETA DJs have manned the decks and remixes they have done in the last few years. The self-produced album travels spectacular heights to gut-wrenching plunges and is an emotional rollercoaster. The songs unfold and mutate in unpredictable ways that will transfix dance floors and bedrooms alike. The band is offering you the first taste with “I Found A Reason” a pulsating summer anthem with a soaring refrain built on a foundation of rubbery bass, swooning synth and housey piano chords. Download the “I Found A Reason” MP3 where it premiered on AOL Spinner or HERE. We encourage you to post and share.

The anthemic “Breaking Bones” opens Diamonds & Death with a skittering beat, keyboards stabs and a transfixing vocal melody that submerges you into the album and explodes into a guitar-fueled chorus. The title track transforms from a minimal synth track into a dance floor behemoth. The album’s quixotic nature juxtaposes dance floor stompers like “Watch Out” with experimental and throbbing psychedelic tracks like “Jellybean”. Diamonds & Death is an unpredictable journey full of breathtaking epic song-scapes.

The two main creative engines behind VHS OR BETA’s decade-long career, Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy, relocated to Brooklyn from Louisville over the last two years.

Krian Music Group/Chromosome Records will release Diamonds & Death on September 27.
Stay tuned for live dates.
