The VRYLL SOCIETY – ” La Jetee “

The Vryll Society have unveiled the video to their mesmeric psych pop cut ‘ La Jetee’.

The Liverpudlian band came into our radar at the end of last year, when Blossoms singer Tom Ogden came in for a session and told us they were the best new band around.

The track once again provides evidence of a band keen to continue pushing the boundaries of their psychedelic tag to as many audiences as possible. We were immediately blown away, and are pleased to show the video to their brightest, catchiest single yet.

Deltasonic – which was famously founded by Alan Wills, who passed away last year – have signed the band. The label signed The Coral, The Zutons, and The Dead 60s. Now, The Vryll Society stand in the footsteps of Liverpool’s greats, ready to take the throne for the new generation.

Their sound owes more to the psych rock/shoegaze guitar sound of early Verve, and Neu!’s penchant for a repetitive, transcendent beat, than they do to the sound of the aforementioned Deltasonic bands, though. Now doubt they’ll make an impact as big as the rest of Deltasonic’s roster, though.

The video to this cut suits the ethereal vocals of frontman Mike Ellis, as the shots capture the essence of bleak British shorelines and wide open skies at sunset. The images of the band are suitably kaleidoscopic, acting as silouettes that give way to the sheer force of the nature behind them.

The VRYLL SOCIETY – ” Deep Blue Skies “

When Deltasonic boss Alan Wills passed away in such tragic, sudden circumstances the impact rocked not just Merseyside’s cultural community – but the world of music. Known for his infectious enthusiasm, whirlwind persona, familial values and ear for spotting talent – it was no surprise that the man who cultivated the talents of The Coral, Zutons and a whole generation of new Merseybeaters was hailed a colossus.

The Vryll Society have been on the radar of *everyone* for sometime. But similarly to that first wave of Deltasonic artists, Alan and his partner Ann, nurtured and honed them until they were truly ready.

Originally The Dirty Rivers, these ‘kids’ produced an astonishing an early single The Kid which lay the foundation for what was to come: a tidal wave of energy, cataclysmic guitar swells, propulsive rhythmical thunder and a front man whose magneticism proved impossible to ignore. Imagine The Rolling Stones channelling Storm in Heaven-era Verve through the spirit of Austin’s Black Angels with infinite more grooves and you’re nearly there. On record they are great, live they are truly unstoppable.

After a considerable time shaping plans and sounds, they’ve conquered Sound City and FestEvol on the home front while an October UK tour and festival dates including End of The Road and Moseley Folk Festival are lined up.

Their debut single Deep Blue Skies is a statement – a swirling mass of kaleidoscopic riffs, Nuggets-era melodies over-laid by Mike Ellis’ blissed-out vocals. There’s even better to come.
