Vains are a 'moody-pop' duo hailing from the North.
Swimming in the melancholic end of the pool, the band crafts moody sonic textures from cavernous driving drums and lush, twangy guitars. The band’s lyrical content tends to focus around the unnerving doldrums that the weight and stress brought on by everyday life, but the way it’s presented with an almost spoken-word delivery is really brilliant, bolstering the feeling over underlying tension while avoiding angsty tropes and pitfalls.
