Swelling from a folk-ready contemplation into a raucously inviting rock appeal, “First Your Money” is a memorable new single from Vacation Bible School. The initial verses enamor with their introspective qualities, combining balmy guitars and lush keys. “First your money, then your clothes,” a jumpy vocal feeling escalates thereafter into an intensified vigor, building from sleepy twinkling into raucously enjoyable rock appeal with seamless engagement. The release marks a thorough success from Vacation Bible School, succeeding in both howling ferocity and dreamy intrigue.
