Vantage Point - 'Hostess'
Iain McArhur • Sep 08, 2020
Vantage Point have released the song ‘Hostess’ as the final preview single ahead of their highly anticipated 5th album.
The album ‘Demonic Dinner Dance 2; The Demon Stomp’ revisits a concept they first explored in 2014 with songs based around the characters at a dinner party. This single focuses on the titular hostess who, judging by the cover art, is like a scarier Mrs Slocombe (insert your own pussy joke here).
Previous singles such as last month’s exceptional ‘Pay As You Go’ have been strongly melodic but this one is heavy and Murray Graham produces a higher and harsher vocal to emphasise the point.
The B-side, Demon Stomp Overture, possibly gives a more representative flavour with Matthew Bartlett playing the melody from each song as a prog-rock synthesizer medley. It’s the perfect teaser for what should be a cracking long-player. Make a note in your diary; it will be released digitally on 2nd October. Not long to wait now.
