VASA announce new album ‘Heroics’

VASA have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, titled Heroics, is the second album from the Scottish instrumental post rock band and is scheduled to be released in February next year.

Composed over three years, Heroics was brought to life between 45-A-Side and Trapdoor Studios with the help of producer Tom Peters [WOT GORILLA?, ALPHA MALE TEA PARTY, THE HYENA KILL, CLEFT, BODY HOUND] in the summer of this year. The album is an ambitious concept record broken into the key stages of life: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, within which the band explore a whole new range of tonality.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “as we grow older we often start to disconnect from our past. We are taught that in order to grow, we must leave that which came before behind. We must become adults. But, in reality, as we become older we begin to realise our parents and our grandparents have experienced this same disconnect too. The same insecurities, the same faults, the same vulnerabilities. This album is the emotional representation of that feeling and the rebellion against it, through the act of embracing who we never really stopped being. As such, Heroics does not aim to be one definitive story, but all of our stories. It is an invitation for the listener to come on a shared journey which delves into our collective past, where they can choose to colour in the blanks with their own experience.”

Heroics is set for release on February 21st via self-release.
