To The Wedding #2 - Come On

Facebook

Lauren Grubb's To The Wedding released one of 2014's best music moments earlier this year with the stunning "Silver Currents", a track I described as a 'part Chris Isaak, part Hope Sandoval, a stop-you-in-your tracks hymn of heartbreak'... Thus, accordingly I placed great anticipation (and expectation) upon hearing more from the San Francisco artist. Yesterday I got just that and I'm not disappointed either...

"Come On" is equally woozy and intoxicating, a dream-inducing blanket of comforting vocals and softly strummed guitarscapes, verging between drowsy and shimmery beauty, "Come On" is another treasure from a release that looks set to become a firm favourite of those lucky enough to discover it.

The album Silver Currents looks slated for an October digital release (I'd like this on vinyl) - pre-order via Bandcamp now.

To The Wedding - Silver Currents

Facebook

To The Wedding is the solo project of San Francisco's Lauren Grubb whom I discovered whilst starting to write-up a draft post on the band in which she drums, Minipop (that post will be finished soon, this track is so good it jumped the queue).

There's an EP going back to 2010 on her Bandcamp page but I'm going to focus on her latest track, released a couple of weeks ago, "Silver Currents".

The track is a haunting hymn of heartbreak, a stop you in your tracks and immerse yourself within stunner. It begins with the slow-burning build of a ringing guitar patterns full of hazy, sombre atmosphere that transports you to wide open spaces before Lauren's breathy, evocative vocal, part Chris Isaak, part Hope Sandoval enters and carries you further towards melancholic plains.

Slow, powerful and Devastatingly beautiful. To the Wedding and "Silver Currents" is one of those discoveries you'll want to share with all your friends.

An album of the same name is available to pre-order now via Bandcamp.
