Versus Shade Collapse: Straight Lines

There's a certain type of music that I yearn for, on occasion. This thirst typically results in me digging out my Jesus & Mary Chain albums or hunting down specific songs from Smashing Pumpkins or Siouxie & The Banshees. What I'm saying is, in order to satisfy that itch, I have to look back and cannot find it in the present.

That is, until now...

Versus Shade Collapse has just released their new single and video, Straight Lines:


Minimalist yet philosophically poignant in its lyrics, and complemented by rich musical composition, Straight Lines is a great song, and the visuals bring me to a place my mind has not visited in many years. You should definitely check out Versus Shade Collapse on Facebook, YouTube, as well as their official blog.

Versus Shade Collapse, a solo project from Colombian native, Los Angeles resident, mother, former high school teacher and wife. Versus Shade Collapse has been making songs without any formal musical education and rather uses melodies and lyrics that come into her head to take over and thus fulfill on her fantasy of making music.

In a quest to overcome fears, doubt, insecurity, and uncertainty. Following a new found passion for making music and videos, and with the intention of drinking life to the lees!

Versus Shade Collapse is poised to release a full-length, 12 song debut album on November 2015.

The Straight Lines video was shot in Medellin, Colombia on January 2015.

I look forward to seeing what else Versus Shade Collapse has in store for us, and want to hear more of their tracks!
