This is summer in a shot glass, a marshmallow on the campfire, it’s a vibey adventure into musical melody. To use a Simpsons quote (regular readers know I like a nice one) it’s the sort of sort that makes you nod your head and say yes, yes, YES, THIS ROCKS! It’s got a heavier sound than most of the rest of the album but that is a good thing. Retrospect, I believe, is Vistas best-known song. If you can imagine what that sounds like, then you’re mental. It has a bombastic bassline, a skreeeeeing shred of Stratocasters mixed with a delicious drum beat that makes the EastEnders ‘duff duff’ sound like a butterfly trying to whack a bongo. It’s a big old happy party and we’re all invited (socially distant, of course). It’s one of them songs that has audience participation at its core.
The album keeps moving on, pushing through the uncertain present to paint a picture of a shiny future. It might sound a hard act to follow in the footsteps of Orange Juice, Primal Scream and Franz Ferdinand but Vistas are on the verge of victory, their brand of poppy tunes is a great tonic to the dismal year we’ve all witnessed so far. This band are the latest in a line of superlative Scottish indie rock.
The song 15 Years rattles along at the pace of a jumpy, thumpy groovy train. thank you all for listening ? /DCXUGwNRbC
that song really kicked things off for us. ‘retrospect’ has over 9 million streams on spotify which is mad. The song has a real romantic-comedy feel to it which is always good news to me. Oh yeah, fun fact, the man who plays Simon’s dad in the Inbetweeners is in the video. They’ll be up, strutting their shoe leather across the kitchen lino, trust me. The refrain of ‘hey hey’ is enough to make even someone really boring start tapping their feet. My personal favourite is Sucker, listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. It sparkles like a fine bit of fizz, hitting the ears with a big smile. This is followed by Teenage Blues, which bubbles along like a mint aero in a bath tub (I have no idea what that is supposed to mean). Let’s dive right into the action with the title track, Everything Changes in the End, a slice of bright and breezy pop perfection. The band make anthemic music at pogoing pace with catchy choruses and charming lyrics. They have been a staple of my lockdown playlist alongside Clean Cut Kid and Sundara Karma. The sound of this three-piece is sweet, sugary indie rock straight from the streets of gloomy Glasgow. A dazzling blue sky complete with fluffy clouds of magnificent magnolia sets the scene on the cover of Scottish indie band Vistas debut album.
