Singapore’s only slowcore trio Vegtable share new single ‘Repetitions’, ahead of their new album Hit By a Car, out this Friday, 16 October, via Field Work Recordings.
Daniel Borces (guitar/vocals), Jeriel Lim (bass/vocals) and Shenen Khoo (drums) keep things mysterious as they build momentum towards Hit By a Car.
‘Repetitions’ feels like the moment before impact, stretched out in slow motion, as you brace yourself for what’s coming.
Daniel shares how the track took an unexpected turn:
“When Jeriel just joined the band, she was writing her own stuff, and she showed it to us, and we were like, this is cool, we can use it for Vegtable. The original version sounded like a Slow Pulp track, but our drummer Shenen insisted on cutting down as much as possible. He will even suggest sometimes not playing the drums at all. So the song ended up being something completely different. I don’t know what Jerieil is talking about in lyrics, and when I asked her, she’s very avoidant about the meaning.”
