VietNam 'Welcome To My Room EP' album

Anyone looking for counter culture icons with the ability to actually back it up , look no further. More than two years after growing a cult-like following with the release of their EP The Concrete's Always Grayer on the Other Side of the Street via Vice Records, the sardonic and soulful entity known as Vietnam have returned to the fold with a few extra friends and instruments in tow. While primarily known for their ultra-tone oriented guitar flying high above vocalist Joshua Garrett's vagabond drawl, the new Vietnam recordings feature more attention to detail, an offerring of new instrumentation, and contributions from their recent tourmate Jenny Lewis. Welcome to My Room is the exclusive EP preview of their forthcoming record on Kemado (dropping in January!), and also features the bonus non-album track "Goodbye" recorded live in Toronto this past October.

Biography
We are proud to present the brand new lush symphonic opus of Brooklyn's own VietNam. Introducing a fresh sound, this self-titled debut full-length album is their most complete and exciting piece of work to date. Be ready to engage in an intense cathartic and refreshingly original rock journey. VietNam are four good friends who affectionately make up a loosely defined family in the communal comforts of Brooklyn, living together in the same house with an open door headquarters aesthetic. Lead vocalist/ rhythm guitarist Michael Gerner, lead guitarist Josh Grubb, Michael Foss on drums, complete the band with new member Ivan Berko on bass. Newly signed to Kemado Records, the band's album was recorded at legendary Los Angeles studios Sound City and Sound Factory (100% analog) and produced by “Farmer Dave” Scher (Beachwood Sparks, All Night Radio), Mickey Madden (Maroon5) and Jason Lader. VietNam have also enlisted a number of fun allies to their plate of gonzo jams, including cameos by Jenny Lewis, Paz Lenchantin, the Future Pigeon horn section, and Jesse Carmichael to name a few.

VietNam is built around a core of blues, country and folk, but stretches into dreamy, drony, trippy territory and often explodes into punk noise and aggression.
