After breaking apart in 2010, the Austin blog-rock all-stars are again collectively. Final yr, they performed some exhibits and shared just a few beforehand unreleased tracks. In September, the band launched “One other Fireplace,” their first new track in 14 years. At present, they’ve obtained one other new one.

Voxtrot’s second post-reunion single is named “New World Romance.” It’s a swish, restrained indie chug with plenty of strings and Fender Rhodes, and it actually appears like one thing that may’ve gotten critical on-line burn within the ’00s. Right here’s what frontman Ramesh Srivastava says about it:

The preliminary inspiration for “New World Romance” got here from the 2015 documentary B-Film: Lust & Sound In West-Berlin 1979-1989, which paints a compelling portrait of the underground scene there in the course of the extremely inventive period that preceded reunification. Having spent my very own formative chapter in Berlin, the movie activated my nostalgia and obtained me fascinated with the ephemeral energy of zeitgeist, in addition to the uncanny method during which life frequently presents us with new adventures.

The character of journey itself adjustments as we progress via life — the lust for assembly new folks, discovering new scenes and embracing new cities doesn’t fade completely however is ultimately eclipsed by an inside name to search out objective and deeper that means. This focus shift in my very own life has been compounded by the introduction of a big romantic relationship, the cultivation and exploration of which looks like my subsequent large journey. No matter one’s explicit circumstance, there are at all times extra discoveries available, extra wild roses to bloom.

Association-wise, this track had an analogous trajectory to “One other Fireplace,” in that its accomplished type is a big evolution from its demo state. I really like the shifting moods and interlacing hooks in my bandmates’ performances, in addition to the bittersweet triumph of the strings and horns. I don’t assume there’s a concise phrase for this within the English language, however the temper it evokes in me is: honoring the previous whereas releasing it, in order that we will obtain what comes subsequent with an open coronary heart.

Hearken to “New World Romance” under.
