Vesper
Vesper’s EPK www.sonicbids.com/vesper starts out catalyzed by chords and marching bass drum, with a beautifully tragic metaphor comparing winter’s “first frost” with a withering relationship. The haunting repetition of “it snowed today” mellows out the hard rock quality of the music and forges lyrics which speak about common themes in uncommon ways.
The seven tracks included in the EPK tease listeners into wanting the whole 13-track album, With Autumn I Fell. This four-piece band includes two cellists and a mix of violin, guitar and sitar. Stringed instruments which pull new ideas and visions from the mundane art of normal life.
“Subway Sonata” shows the poetic beauty contained within a single Vesper song with a wonderful comparison to subway graffiti and a daily horoscope.
“Waiting for a train that'll never come/ Take the PATH, but not the one that we strayed from/ Like blood we flow to and from the trains/ Down under through the cities veins”
It takes a poet to translate every day life into music which not only speaks to audiences, but rocks them into shedding the frustration of life during a live show. Vesper is no cliché, rock band. They drive through every track with melody and while one could possibly “dance” to it, most would push and surf over fans at a show.
The lyrics truly make Vesper a band which stands out.
“The Ballad of You and I” speaks, “please wake up/ Love's slept in/ And its time to move on/ I'll pack the memories/ Grab your faith from the floor”
Target Audience Magazine recommends Vesper’s With Autumn I Fell even for fans of writing who never listen to music. Read the lyrics to inspire poetic ways of viewing the world. Watch them live to feel the sound of a difference in the world.
Vesper is one band to watch and anyone in the New York area should try to catch them live. They have an upcoming show in Brooklyn at Matchless September 5, 2008 at 7:00.
