      @@DoubleDowner I just heard their new songs that just dropped and I couldn’t help but think Rostam helped on the new album. Has that “baroque-pop” feel. Feels a lot like their first album or Vampires.

    I love White Sky so much. It could have so easily gone so wrong, but somehow Ezra takes something that other musicians would fail at, and makes it super awesome. How does he do it? I don't know, but it has secured me as a lifelong VW fan.

      @@zackzallie8735 A very creative album indeed, but I felt like it strayed a little more into the commercial indie sound then their first two albums did.
      For me the first two albums hit you with song after song of original compositions and unique genre combinations that defined my early 20s.
      Modern Vampires was good but it felt like they were losing that initial spark of originality at that point. Or the music was changing in some way. But it's cool to hear you say you really like that one, because it's cool to hear different people's musical preferences.
