(A presidential administration accidentally texting out military strike plans? Kim Kardashian hawking faux-hair thongs? The tsunami of AI slop rapidly overtaking the equally-vapid Internet ragebait made by actual humans? How can a loving god permit such lunacy?) But the end of the year is always ripe for counting blessings, and as 2025 comes to a close, we’re […]

]]> Chainlacing’s cover of ‘Girl, so confusing’ just makes sense https://vanyaland.com/2025/12/03/chainlacings-cover-of-girl-so-confusing-just-makes-sense/ Wed, 03 Dec 2025 18:08:00 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042729 Well, honestly, we were speechless when we woke up to Chainlacing’s rendition of “Girl, so confusing” last week (November 28). Pop’s hatchet burial of the decade — orchestrated by Charli XCX and Lorde — was a whip-smart document of mixed signals and mended relationships when it debuted last year as part of Charli’s BRAT rollout, and the song sounds just as fresh when filtered through Chainlacing’s dreamy “gloomgaze” this winter. The cover from the New Hampshire band appears on a […]

]]> Tysk Tysk Task stir up an acerbic woodland grunge with ‘Toadstool’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/10/17/tysk-tysk-task-stir-up-an-acerbic-woodland-grunge-with-toadstool/ Fri, 17 Oct 2025 09:48:15 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042497 There is something that stirs deep in the woods, and like the abyss, the longer one gazes into it, the deeper it gazes back. And what we see staring at us is often a reflection of the things we deliberately try to ignore. Tysk Tysk Task understand this emotion, and now lure us deep into a psychological terror with a warm embrace and social refection through “Toadstool,” a menacing twirl of indie grunge with a dirge-like pull from the Lowell […]

]]> Chainlacing beat the (depressing) heat with new song ‘Parasol’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/07/18/chainlacing-beat-the-depressing-heat-with-new-song-parasol/ Fri, 18 Jul 2025 13:58:28 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042024 Summer’s all fun and games until the heatwaves become a weighted blanket that pin you to the sofa. As if to fight fire with fire, Chainlacing have entered the season with the new single called “Parasol,” a droning curtain of “gloomgaze” that’s soaked with palpable humidity. The single arrived earlier this month (July 8), following the New Hampshire group’s March Aftersee EP. “I wanted to write a song about how summer makes me feel insane and the way rick [Martel] […]

]]> Chainlacing provide the gloom of New England autumn with ‘Time Away’ https://vanyaland.com/2024/08/19/chainlacing-provide-the-gloom-of-new-england-autumn-with-time-away/ Mon, 19 Aug 2024 10:02:24 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039317 It’s only mid-August, but the sound of New England autumn has already arrived. It comes from Chainlacing, a New Hampshire duo self-described as “lo fi experimental gloom”, and that’s nothing we’re prepared to argue against. The recently offered “Time Away” is the project’s remarkable debut single (released August 13), and it expands a grayscale comfort over its five shadowy minutes, slowly blooming into the type of blissed out invitation that pierces with a rounded blade through the crisp fall air.
