Extraterra Has Landed

It's here! The day has finally come. Marianne, Andrea and Cale have all worked really hard to bring Extraterra to life and I could not be more proud to have it out on Rising Pulse Records. The album is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, iHeart Radio and more. The album is also available on Bandcamp although I personally recommend picking this beauty up on vinyl.
 The packaging is really something in the flesh. The vinyl color is a perfect match to the color scheme and design. Not to mention it is one of the best sounding records I have ever put out through the label. Producer Aaron Bastinelli (Fun Sound Studio) did a splendid job capturing the bands true essence and tonality. It is a wonderfully dynamic listening experience.
 Well, that's all the hyping I'm gonna do. The rest is up to you.

The Secret to 'Secret' - The new single by Vaureen.

The second single Secret off of Vaureen's forthcoming debut album Extraterra has recently premiered at New Noise Magazine.

Singer / guitar player Andrea Horne created art for the single that reflects the thick, swirling layers of sound in the song and points to the lyrical theme.

The band sent the following out via their email newsletter :

 "We are incredibly excited to share the second single off our upcoming album Extraterra. Andrea was inspired to write "Secret" after hearing a Radiolab episode called "The Bad Show." One of its stories is about a serial killer (dubbed the Green River Killer), and the detective who hunted him for 17 years. When he was finally captured, the detective became deeply distressed by the absence of a clear motive for the horrendous crimes.

All of the stories in "The Bad Show" explored the central question: where does evil come from? "Secret" continues that inquiry; its lyrics blur between first and third person, but offer no conclusion — only room to wonder.

"Secret" took us years to finish. The song started out as iPhone recordings of Andrea's washy, intricate guitar loops. We iterated over it countless times, changing the song structure, messing with time signature shifts, and making small adjustments to the melody. Some of our long-time fans might remember a song called "Albatross" off our Dirty Floor EP of demos. "Secret" is sort of like Albatross 2.0, but more grand, way more heavy, and much more Vaureen-like."


The band's full length album Extraterra will be out on October 26th. To celebrate, Vaureen will be headlining at the Rising Pulse Records 10th Anniversary Party (Sponsored by Distrokid) on Friday, October 19th at Brooklyn Bazaar with special guests Pants Exploder and MC
Dälek. 

Vaureen Song Premiere

Stare Into The Sun, the brand new single by Vaureen has premiered on Louder Sound today!! Vocalist Andrea Horne had this to say about it: "Capitalism creates a superficial valuation of shiny things, but when we look at loss head on, and grieve and grow, the earthly things lose their meaning entirely."

The bands full length album Extraterra is slated for an October 26th release date. To celebrate the band will be performing a headlining set at the Rising Pulse Records 10 year anniversary party on Friday, October 19th at Brooklyn Bazaar. Also performing will be the mighty Pants Exploder and Apollo's Ghost.

VAUREEN

Rising Pulse Records is extremely proud to announce the newest addition to our roster, Brooklyn grunge-gaze power trio, Vaureen. The band was formed by guitar player / vocalist, Andrea Horne and bass player / vocalist, Marianne Do in 2011. With the addition of drummer Cale Hand the band was able to hone their sound and self-release Violence a powerful three song EP thick with soaring melodies, swirling layers of harmony, ambient distortion, feedback and all kinds of magical things. The EP garnered the band some great press and now Vaureen's fan base is growing beyond their local music scene and out into the US and abroad.

Welcoming Vaureen to the Rising Pulse Records family couldn't be happening at a better time. The band has recently finished recording, mixing and mastering their first full length album titled Extraterra with Producer Aaron (The Beast) Bastinelli at the helm. They have also launched an Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign that will help pay for a proper release of the album including a 12-Inch deluxe colored, limited edition vinyl run, a proper PR campaign, music videos and other vital content that will help put Vaureen on the map in a big way!
