“… reflects their extensive experience as DJs and remixers, with bright synthesizer parts bouncing off of hyper-kinetic live and programmed beats."
- Rolling Stone
“ …chunky, nod-inducing house piano, the bounce of disco bass and clear, catchy synth melodies.”
- RCRD LBL
“… the perfect summer anthem; that is, if you spend a lot of time indoors at night going nuts in dance clubs.”
- Consequence of Sound
VHS or Beta’s upcoming 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. Diamonds & Deathwill be released September 27 on Krian Music Group/Chromosome Records.
We shared the anthemic “Breaking Bones” MP3 a few weeks ago and now the band has revealed the stylishly colorful and slightly risqué new video for the track. With a skittering beat, keyboards stabs and a transfixing vocal melody, “Breaking Bones” immediately submerges you into the album and explodes into a guitar-fueled chorus. Check out the “Breaking Bones” video on InterviewMagazine.com or HERE. We encourage you to post and share!
Title track “Diamonds & Death” transforms from a minimal synth track into a dance floor behemoth. “I Found a Reason” is a pulsating summer anthem with a soaring refrain built on a foundation of rubbery bass, swooning synth and housey piano chords. 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. If you will not be able to catch the band in NYC this summer, be sure to catch them live on a national tour with Ladytron!
