Coming out of Melbourne, Australia, Beach Vultures is a rock duo formed by longtime collaborators Matt and Alan. This DIY garage rock project has been creating gritty, energising sounds that channel years of shared musical history, from high school jam sessions to their time in various bands.
Together, they’ve forged a nostalgic yet cutting edge take on garage rock that sees them use their fiercely independent approach to create impactful musical moments. Making their artistic entrance last year with their debut single “Good Things,” Beach Vultures are back with new material, bringing us their latest outing with the new single titled “Pocket.”
Held at the iconic Ringo Barr record store in Melbourne, the song’s launch was an intimate affair that allowed fans to experience the duo’s music up close. Once again using their hands-on approach to bring to life their shared sonic vision, with “Pocket,” they serve up an epic indie rock experience.
Self-recorded in their rehearsal space and mixed by drummer Alan, “Pocket” pairs their memorable songwriting style with a fuzzy guitar-driven arrangement driven by lively drums. Opened by the soft twang of lightly distorted guitar tones, splashy drums enter to inject an uptempo energy before the smooth sweep of vocal leads floats delicate melodies above.
With tinges of grunge and alternative rock wrapping their catchy indie writing, “Pocket” delivers a charming jam that’s accessible and original in equal measure. Flowing with slick vocal hooks and bouncy rhythms in the chorus, the track progresses with the intensity of a Jack White-inspired guitar solo before floating down to a stripped back moment ahead of the finale.
It’s a superb showcase of their unique sound, musicianship panache and self-sufficient ethos, building on their musical output with an engaging and memorable new song. As they go from strength to strength with the second single, Beach Vultures are sure to continue winning over fans with their compelling rock sound.
