Die Isländer THE VINTAGE CARAVAN stehen für Prog Rock im Stil der 70er. Diesen Stil führt das Trio auch auf dem kommenden Studioalbum “Portals“ weiter, das am 26. September als Doppelalbum auf den Markt kommt, auch wenn es gelegentliche Abweichungen gibt. Die neue Vorabsingle `Crossroads`, könnt ihr hier im Video sehen.
Bassist Alexander Örn Númason schreibt:
„We are very happy to present to you our new single Crossroads! The song, which is a slight departure from our previous work, almost ended up on our album Monuments. Ultimately we felt like the time wasn’t right but fast forward a few years, we had a few playthroughs and finally we felt like we were able to do the song justice.
This album is very much about trying out new styles and techniques and this was the perfect fit for this diverse catalog of songs. At this point in our career we feel like we can really try completely new things and just allow songs to be what they are without having to adhere to a certain style and I think it really shows with this album.
Lyrically the song was written when I was at a certain crossroads in my life. It reflects on that through the lens of being lost in a forest at nighttime and your mind racing at every sound and sight. The cherry on top for this song were the guest vocals from Icelandic powerhouse singer Eyþór Ingi, who happened to be in Porto at the time.
We sincerely hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!“
