Title - Tannersville [EP]
Artist - Vakili Band
For those not in the know, Vakili Band is a fiery five-piece rock band with a trio of albums under their belt, fronted by Lily Vakili, a savvy street poet who finds the sweet spot in the nexus formed by Patti Smith’s loose-limbed punk swagger, Grace Slick’s inviting psychedelia and the throaty blues-belting of a Janis Joplin; not to mention the full-throated howl of a Grace Potter or Brittany Howard.
Their just-released EP Tannersville is a follow up to 2023’s Honey, which in turn followed 2018’s Oh Alright and 2021’s Walking Sideways (along with a pair of previous Lily Vakili solo efforts, making six releases now over the last decade).
1. Photograph
2. Rocket
3. April Fools
4. Tannersville
This brilliantly emotive new recording opens on an earnest yearn found within the veritably seductive Photograph and then proceeds to bring forth the dulcet Rocket, before rounding out on the languishing April Fools, coming to an all-too-soon close on the gracefully-sculpted, titular Tannersville.
