The Van Pelt’s recollection of the past continues to surface into view on “Grid”, the final preview off the seminal indie-emo rock band’s very long-awaited fourth full-length effort, Artisans & Records. In this instance, it’s racing into mind like a chase scene. Decidedly more of a post-punk refraction into a specific memory, vocalist Chris Leo narrates the listen with a sing-spoken panic involving seeing a band in a garage at a house party, losing his keys, and a girl who calls him a loser, straight down to pinpointing the particularities to its street intersection. Repetition of the memory propels the listen into a spin-out, getting swept up onto the commotion of a night where everything goes right and wrong.

The Van Pelt’s Artisans & Merchants will be released March 17th on Gringo Records / La Castanya / Spartan Records.
