Lonely Little Kitsch unleashes a gritty and unapologetic anthem that challenges the very notion of perfection in their latest single, “Vices”.
Built on a foundation of infectious melodies and raw energy, “Vices” has vocalist Kristen Goetz’s vocals soaring above a churning sea of guitar distortion that creates a sound that’s as nostalgic as it is modern. From the first distorted guitar riff that echoes that of the 90s, “Vices” grips one and doesn’t let go. Inspired by a simple keyboard melody, the guitar work crafted by Nolan Jodes is a masterclass in rock minimalism. It’s simple, dirty, and impossible to ignore. With a chorus that is massive and the kind that lingers long after the song ends, it helps to solidify the message of the song.
“The song is about bad habits, and how we all have them. Some can be serious, and some are innocent and fairly innocuous – and, in some cases, our vices are other people. But no one is vice-less. “Vices” is about recognizing that, and coming together and being open about it. Perfection is a farce. Let your freak flag fly!”
“Vices” is a candid embrace of imperfection and about acknowledging one’s own flaws, celebrating them, and rejecting the unrealistic ideals one often impose on themselves.
As the band sums it up,
“It’s 3 minutes of rock… hopefully that’s your vice.”
In a world obsessed with perfection, “Vices” is a reminder that sometimes, it’s the rough edges that make us who we are.
So turn it up to eleven, let your freak flag fly, and let “Vices” be the soundtrack to your own unapologetic rebellion.
