Hear The First Single From Vow's Debut Album, With Touche Amore's Guitarist on the Riffs

The Los Angeles band moved away from the synth and back to the guitar on their latest release. Or, rather, they made the guitar sound like a synth.

After releasing two EPs in quick succession, Los Angeles based band Vow slowed down, put the brakes on, and took their sweet time with their debut full length album Kind Eyes. With the premanent addition of Touche Amore guitarist Nick Steinhardt, what they came up with is far heavier, far more rockier than the synth sound they'd been leaning on with their last two releases.

"Without any real direction in mind, my head was already in the mindset of leaving the synths and drum machines in the closet for a while and writing with dirtier synth like tones from a guitar as the sound source instead of an oscillator," says Vow band member Andrew Thomas, explaining the reasoning behind the band's tonal shift. Today we can present to you a taste from that album, the track "Withdraw", which we're premiering below.
