Ecca Vandal’s new album seeks to shed followers
Ecca Vandal, a musician known for her unique blend of influences, has recently released her latest album, “Looking for People to Unfollow.” This album represents the culmination of Vandal’s journey, from performing on festival stages to supporting acclaimed artists like Deftones and making her mark with hit singles like “Cruising to Self Soothe.”
Rooted in punk music, “Looking for People to Unfollow” showcases Vandal’s fearless embrace of her creative power. Tracks like “Eyes Shut” and “Dance in Debt” delve deep into hardcore sounds, while the album’s diverse influences reflect Vandal’s musical evolution. From bhangra elements to screeching guitars, the album weaves together a tapestry of sounds that push boundaries and defy genres. Songs like “Do It Anyway” challenge societal norms and encourage listeners to break free from limitations.
Recorded and produced in a makeshift studio, the album was a result of intentional isolation and disconnection from the digital world. Vandal and producer Richie Buxton deliberately tuned out social media, focusing instead on creating an authentic and introspective body of work. By cutting out distractions and external pressures, Vandal and Buxton were able to craft a deeply personal and cohesive album that reflects their shared vision.
Hailing from a multicultural background, Vandal’s music is a melting pot of influences, from the soulful sounds of Nina Simone to the raw energy of punk rock. Her upbringing in South Africa and Australia shaped her musical sensibilities, leading her to explore genres like jazz, rock, and electronica. Vandal’s unique perspective sets her apart in the music industry, blending cultural traditions with modern sounds to create a truly original sound.
Following her recent success at Coachella and support slots for Deftones, Vandal is set to embark on a European tour, performing at major music festivals like Rock im Park, Roskilde, and Lollapalooza. Known for her high-energy live performances, Vandal brings together elements of punk, hip-hop, and electronic music to create an electrifying experience for her fans. With additional tour dates to be announced, Vandal is poised to make a lasting impact on the music scene worldwide.
In a world filled with noise and distractions, Ecca Vandal’s music serves as a beacon of authenticity and empowerment. By cutting ties with negativity and embracing her true self, Vandal invites listeners to break free from societal expectations and live boldly. With “Looking for People to Unfollow,” Ecca Vandal delivers a powerful message of self-discovery and creative freedom, inviting fans to join her on a musical journey unlike any other.
