The Poignant Vamberator Present A Rolo McGinty Of Woodentops Remix Of I Need Contact

Vamberator
I Need Contact (Rolo McGinty Remix)
New Reality Records

The latest Vamberator single premiered last Friday. Although sent to me way last week, it’s only just gone live on YouTube, so that’s my signal to write. Their highly enjoyed I Need Contact has been given the remix treatment by Woodentops stalwart Rolo McGinty. Ex members of The Cure and Shelleyan Orphan, Jemaur Tayle and Boris Williams, Vamberator continue the post-punk and emo-positive escapade that began all those years ago in the 2000s. Bravely carrying on after the untimely passing of band member Caroline Crawley, the band revive some classic retro feels and dress them up in modern clothing. Always in the same circles from the early days, Jemaur, Boris, and Rolo teamed up to bring expert mixing skills and Vamberator originality to the desk. Released on a customised USB stick with unlimited downloads too, plus streaming, Contact is made. Let the energy flow.

Slow, graceful, absorbing tones radiate and flow in a salient stream of emotional description. A song begins to form; words resonate in cello sounds and obscure electric guitar. Melancholy feelings spiral like pen lines, drawing within clouds of stormy evening light. The jazz crooner style hits home, although there’s no jazz and there’s no grand piano. The vocals swell in poetic schemes and sophisticated passages of charm and humble sentiment. It’s an over and out kind of track, one to be played at the end of the night.
