The Vorticists / Press

““The Vorticists, true to their name, blend their psych prog with an off-kilter smart pop sensibility, served up lock-tight by a well-oiled wave machine.””

““If you’re up for prog influenced indie pop with intimate folk stylings as a base and prog synths as rich detailing, then you’ll be in for a treat with the Vorticists.” – Myles Bartoli, AKA “On Air Myles”, Kooba Radio”

“In the spirit of their namesake, The Vorticists deviate from the norms of modern music and achieve a sound that is anything but conventional or formulaic. That is not to say the songs are lacking structure, it just means there is a free-form flow of consciousness style of writing that is glaringly apparent. Show is the kind of album that needs to be listened to from beginning to end to fully appreciate the sonic portrait that is being painted. One song taken out of context is like judging a work of art just from looking at the corner of it or trying to figure out what a puzzle is with just one piece. This 9-song existential odyssey sets its exploratory sights on the subconscious mind by crafting haunting yet dreamy landscapes out of otherworldly guitar solos, electric piano and moog synthesizers”
