#reformat (self-release)
VNH have been increasing the profile of their gigs, the latest of which was an
appearance at Oxfringefestival, and having not caught them live it was good to get their new‘#Reformat’ EP to get a feel for whatImightexpect.Hailingfrom Didcot, they build on the now familiar ‘Dead Jerichos sound’, particularlywiththeirfirsttwo tracks. Delayed guitar loops and effectsandambitiousdrumming aremuchondisplay–it’seclectic at times but it gels together to make a good little EP. ‘Among Whispers’ismyfavouritetrack, where Sam’s vocal is definitely initselement.‘Undisclosure’and ‘Vegas’ have a big sound and epic lengths and although the long instrumental sections may work well in a live situation, they don’t provoke the most insightful nuggets over my morning coffee! Certainly the energetic sound makesmewanttocatchalive set–I’msuretheywilldowellif they can recreate this sound at their shows.
