“Vundabar’s part-art, part-surf pop-rock isn’t just for fun — it’s always been a way to enhance Hagen’s lyrics.”
NPR

“Vundabar are just as compelling offstage as they are on.”
Pitchfork

“The sludge-pop duo’s new track smacks you over the head before you know what hit you – and that’s the point.”
Noisey

“Diver,” that record’s [‘Smell Smoke”] midtempo jammer of a second single, is revved with rumbling guitar, thrashing cymbals, and a hint of “Sweater Song”-era melancholy.”
Fader

Smell Smoke is ripe with [songs] that sound like the pinnacle of what the Boston group has achieved so far.”
Stereogum

 

Boston duo Vundabar released a new song, titled “Tonight I’m Wearing Silk” today, and NPR is currently featuring it in their “Songs We Love” section. The band is set to embark on a massive spring tour in March which sees them playing across North America, including a stop at SXSW, before heading over to the UK and EU.

The sludge-indie band have built a massive following through non-stop touring and their signature brand of jittery, rambunctious post-punk, yet much of their music hints at something darker beneath the surface.

The duo are set to release their brand new album Smell Smoke on February 23rd 2018, which has already received acclaim from Pitchfork, Drownedinsound, Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, and more. The record, (which includes singles Acetone premiered recently on Noisey, and haunting slacker-pop track Diver, shared via The Fader), is an exercise in dealing with songwriter Brandon Hagen’s experience of taking care of a loved one who suffered a severe illness.  Smell Smoke is current available for pre-order via Gawk Records.
