LISTEN: Viernes - "Honest Parade"


Viernes - "Honest Parade" (MP3 @ Fader)

With an elastic-sounding, heavily distorted bass thumping and plucking along throughout, "Honest Parade" hits heavy. But it also breaks every few measures for heavenly verses marked by acoustic guitar and airy vocals. It's ambient that straddles the line between the light and the dark; a catalyst for thought that forces you deep into recesses of your mind. "Honest Parade" is so complexly beautiful.

Viernes (or "Friday" in español) will be playing a few New York dates. I knew all those years of Spanish in middle school, high school, and college would pay off.

New York dates:
June 24 – Union Hall
June 25 – Cameo Gallery (Northside Festival)
June 26 – Coop 87/Mexican Summer (instore)
June 26 – Public Assembly
June 26 – Pianos

"Honest Parade" is from Viernes' debut album, Sinister Devices. It's an album that deals with love, deception, money, politics, misconceptions, fear, and technological advances threatening the world we live in.
