Halifax electronic-pop duo, Vogue Dots, released their debut EP, Toska, on May 6, 2014 [via Montreal-based indie label, Indica Records]
This group embraces the ambient side of electronic music with Babette Hayward’s vocals taking the forefront, backed by her lush guitar playing and Tynan Dunfield’s electronically crafted melodies.
What culminates is meticulous layers of beautifully, dark sound.
It’s the type of music that hushes a room and sucks the crowd into their calming, seductive vibe.
The duo have just released their first music video for their single “Skinny Thing” and an Indica studio session of a track off their EP, “Mercy”.
We listened to ‘Mercy’:
This carefully treads into view like a lame panther.
The vocal part is almost as chilled as an off-shore wind on a sunny afternoon.
The gradually building sounds create a spider silk cup-nest – incubating Babette’s vocals .
Her guitar work is bloodless and streaky.
Stained and bleached.
This piece feels as if it is suspended in time. Like a water droplet on a drowsy day.
