Vondelpark - California Analog Dream
Tom Jenkins | Friday 1 February, 2013 14:00
Dreamy Surrey trio Vondelpark seem to have hit the jackpot with this, a quite incredible reworking of a track that first appeared on their debut 2010 EP Sauna. It’s ambitious stuff from Lewis, Alex and Matt and one can’t help thinking the tag ‘the new XX’ will be hurled in their direction frequently over the coming months. Hopefully it won’t become an albatross. Like The XX, Vondelpark seem to have spent their time wisely, developing their sound from that of embryonic garage productions to spine tingling, festival-primed, atmospheric grooves with crossover appeal. In short, they now sound like a band that are going to be massive. Prepare yourselves for more gushing pieces from us, should the debut album – Seabed, out April 1 through R&S Records – turn out to be anything other than a steaming pile of dog crud.
