Reese's Review: Fall Booster Pack - VOS

-

Upon first glance at the cover art, the listener gets a faint glimmer of the quirky references Vos has to offer on this EP. Upon opening up with the "unwrapping" of this fresh pack, Vos kicks it off with the velvet smooth vocal aesthetic accompanied by catchy laidback cadence on Darling. I love all the anime references on this track! Definitely hit me in my nerd feels without taking away from that badass demeanor.

This is then followed by what I described to Vos himself as an "eerie lounge" vibe on Don't Ask (Let It Burn). Definitely a dope track to chill and smoke to, so the line "let it burn, let it burn" is more than appropriate.

But where he got me was on his track Persevere. Talk about a rebel yell. "Tell me how to persevere, when I don't give a fuck about a person here." Embodying that feeling of displacement we artists are no stranger to, Persevere emanates that relatable passion over this inner conflict of creating for the very people who gave us backlash, often berating us with their doubts and naysaying. Dogfuck's feature only enhances the track with his contrasting vocals to Vos's, but complementary word play and clever references as well.

He wraps up the EP with the last two tracks being remixes of Darling and Don't Ask (Let It Burn). Vos definitely displays that he has a good head about his collaborations as the two additional features also complement his own style well, only amplifying the cool style he maintains throughout the entire album.

Short and sweet, I've been bumping this album for the last couple weeks on repeat.. needless to say, I will definitely be the one hella fangirling tomorrow night during his set! If you haven't given it a listen yet, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?

You can find him at @viciousvos on most everything, and search "Vos - Fall Booster Pack" on YouTube!

Origins

I’m not crazy, weathered at worst Like early days of earth Rubble rock birthing life from  violent destruction Fires burning molten in the underbelly of my origins Bubbling beneath cracked surfaces Where I oftentimes appear stable My heart is a volcano Bursting at the seams where new ground must form Former foundations crumbling, splitting like Pangaea  Where connections we once had feel like nothing more than distant history Evolution of man How he crawled out of water to feel sun upon his face How I would wait hundreds of thousands of years  In hopes he’d emerge from darkness to find me Staring out into space The nostalgia of quiet combustion Peering into past lives in the distance Knowing most of what I know to be beautiful is dead I am a supernova  Bursting at the seams where new life may form  Gathering masses from stray debris Gasses and gravity Nebulous love Pulling together new solar systems  in ancient designs and unwritten formulas Life is messy Somehow we find a way to fall

Where do I begin When the whole world has been crumbling for a minute All of us fighting for this pot to piss in like it’s the only place to sit Game of porcelain thrones Everyone bleeding over one-ply papers Worth international deficit Shout out to my American privilege Where ignorance is protected And propaganda is the primary news outlet No scorn over countries war torn, just know both sides are US funded Terror isn’t as terrifying til you and yours become the target When it comes knocking at your door Economic decline existing solely in the working class and poor Gas is $4.20 in Vegas on a good day I’m just trying to make it to work Make it work Knowing someone else is benefiting from this sweat Thirty percent of this check Already guaranteed to the government Navigating tourist traffic They have a habit of making us their escape Make us wait as they wade through ensembles of tax dollars on display While teachers take yet another strike day Begging for a fraction of what is deserve

I hate you the most when I really need you And you're there like you've always been Like you're still my best friend and we can face anything together Like I never left, Like you never let me.. Like we didn't have to let the story end And maybe there was still a chance for happily ever after Something about the softness in your eyes Or the secret in your smile Suddenly you didn't seem so evil I wept, and you held me closely Lips whispering in my ear, "You'll always be family" Heart screaming, "I'll always love you" Some things really don't ever change Because you've always loved me most when I needed to be saved I only crave you like my last cigarette When I see you making someone else happy Giving them that fix you used to give me, Or when I smell you and momentarily I am tempted by the familiarity My fingerstips itching to paint you in my past regrets I hate you most when I see you growing into the man I always wished you had be
