Vampire Driver

Following their debut LP To The Rooftops, and a number of full-tilt EPs, Watchers' new full-length, Vampire Driver, reveals a collection of engaging, surprising and challenging songs, each rocketing at you from some new unexpected era. With content that ranges from the complexity of gentrification to the topic of same sex unions, Watchers' lyrics and musicianship reflect a kind of maturity that is increasingly absent in music today. These are not songs about the unfairness of life or love; these are not pouty emo anthems. These songs reflect the complication of experience, as does the technical craftsmanship, which makes the album entirely intricate and solidly unique.
