“Heathens” is a track released today from Von Thrasher, off the Minimal Soul EP, also out today. A sparser guitar-fronted beginning expands with fluttering allure past the 30-second mark. The rhythm section’s emergence coincides with reflective vocal harmonies that tug at the heart, with vocal harmonizing producing a nostalgic doo-wop quality that plays successfully. “Heathens” shows seamless structural evolution and a nostalgic, melodic pull that’s continuous throughout. The rest of the EP is recommended, as well.
