Vår – “Into Distance”

Var - No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers

The first track we heard from Vår’s forthcoming debut LP, No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers, gave some indication that Elias Rønnenfelt primary non-Iceage project might be even better (or at least as good as) Iceage itself. And the just-released “Into Distance” strongly reinforces that premise. “Into Distance” is a decidedly acoustic version of Vår — there are no chilly synths or programmed beats here; it’s all acoustic-guitar strum, kick-drum stomp, swells of brass, and Rønnenfelt’s dark, urgent vocals. It’s terrific, and totally unexpected. Listen.

No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers is out 5/14 via Sacred Bones. On 5/25, Vår and Pharmakon are doing a special collaborative performance at the Rink in Greenpoint. Cop tix here.
