Debut album from Goodvibes Sound

London-based duo Goodvibes Sound is formed by friends Angus and Alex who met while attending jam parties hosted by a mutual friend up in Scotland. Immediately bonding over groovy bass lines and a desire to create music for people to dance to, they started Goodvibes Sound and set up in an East London studio towards the end of 2019.

Dropping their debut single “Beachside Living” the following year, they struck a chord with fans around the world with their upbeat indie funk sound full of hook-driven writing and rhythmic arrangements dripping in psychedelic tones. Translating their uplifting energy and sound to their live performances, they’ve been delighting crowds from stages in London and beyond, playing on the main stage at The Big Weekend and sharing the bill with Nile Rodgers & Chic.

After being deservedly selected as ‘one to watch’ by BBC Introducing and earning extensive radio support across the UK, they bring us their debut record with the new album titled The Institute. Featuring sixteen tracks that tell the story of someone who feels lost and isolated, on a journey that leads them to the Goodvibes Institute, the album reflects the path that the pair have both experienced in their own lives.

Spinning an infectiously grooving energy, on The Institute, Goodvibes Sound lay down an engaging indie pop sound infused with bright instrumentation and instantly catchy melodic leads. Their first opus makes a statement from an exciting band that they’ve got the sonic output to match their songwriting and production talents on a charming and worthy debut album.
