Soundcheck: Vitamin – ‘Did it for You’
Leeds quartet VITAMIN who’ve already been likened to acts including Bombay Bicycle Club and Friendly Fires which isn’t exactly a bad start.
New UK band VITAMIN bring you their most accessible song so far: ‘Did it for you’. With lush production and an infectious groove the track explores a passion and yearning within the band delivered with the characteristic colour and spirit that brought them to the attention of BBC Radio One, Amazing Radio and other UK tastemakers online.
They’ve received plenty of exposure on The Hype Machine with a couple of their previous releases and latest track ‘Did It For You’ first premiered on BEAT earlier today. It’s an excellent little indie pop number, hear the single below.
After posting their first recordings on Soundcloud this year VITAMIN received praise for tracks like free download ‘Dancing on the Sun’ from BBC Introducing Radio and blogs who likened the band to the spacey arrangements of Bombay Bicycle Club and electronic-pop of Friendly Fires, anchored by driving choruses speckled with M83 and Yeasayer-tinged electronics.
Summer track ‘To Believe’ debuted on Radio One in the UK by Phil Taggart whilst being described as ‘wrapping funk-lite guitars and radio melodies in warm hues of pop saturation’ by ‘When the Gramophone Rings’ Blog. Recently ‘We Breathe Fire’ articulated a more brooding side to the band with an ethereal verse leading to an anthemic chorus described online as ‘psychedelic-electro-pop‘.
“Catapulting sun-resplendent melodies from all directions.”
