Dana Wachs, a Brooklyn composer, producer, and audio engineer, is set to release her debut EP as Vorhees. Titled Black Horse Pike, the EP sees Wachs couching her thematic explorations (youth, religion, insomnia, etc.) in hushed, patient music that insinuates itself through movement and repetition rather than grand musical gestures, a soft swell of sounds that’s both challenging and exquisite. The five-track release is out Friday, February 24, digitally and on limited-edition vinyl.
TMT has the pleasure of premiering the EP in full. Stream it below, and pre-order it here through NYC-based label Styles Upon Styles. And if you’re in the neighborhood, Vorhees is playing a record release show with Faten Kanaan and I.U.D. (Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzi Bougatsos and Growing’s Sadie Laska) on Saturday at Brooklyn’s Union Pool.
