5th PROJEKT releases “Vagabond”

Based in Toronto, Canada, 5th PROJEKT is an art rock outfit led by vocalist, guitarist, bass player and drummer Tara Rice and Sködt McNalty on guitars and synths. On stage, the pair are joined by Peter Broadley on bass and drummer Jeremy Oram to deliver their spellbinding sound to fans at live shows.

For years they’ve been sharing their highly original creative vision over a series of dazzling releases, starting in 2006 with their debut thirteen-track record CiRCADiAN. Followed up by their sophomore album in 2011 with V, they’ve since dropped a string of well-received singles and two EPs.

The most recent of which, The Labyrinth, gained them recognition across the country, spending eleven weeks on Top 30 college radio charts and hitting the Top 10 in Guelph and Windsor. It also earned 5th PROJEKT Earshot Distro Artist of the Week and receiving award nominations from The Ontario Independent Music Awards, The Toronto Independent Music Awards and The Orange County Music Awards.

They’ve been going from strength-to-strength with their recent material which has been years in the making, inspired by Tara and Sködt’s forty day journey under the stars across the south of France and through Spain to the Atlantic Ocean. Now, off the back of the success of their last EP, they bring us their latest work with the lead single from their upcoming EP The Wolf, with the track titled “Vagabond”.

Released via their own label Organik Rekords, their new single is a brooding and atmospheric post punk cut framed by dreamy shoegaze tones and tinged by psychedelic vibes. Both engaging and eerie, with “Vagabond” 5th PROJEKT has crafted a captivating sound of deep sonic textures and compelling vocal leads that serves to showcase their songwriting prowess and build further excitement for their forthcoming record after an astonishing year for the project.
