Naarm / Melbourne-based three-piece Double Vanity transported listeners into their brave new world with the arrival of indie chill synths from another dimension and dreamy guitar, vintage beats and post punk/crystalline vocals. 

Double Vanity released their pioneering debut album 'Love to Leave You' out 30 Sept 2022 to much international acclaim.

'Love To Leave You,' is out now through Psychic Hysteria. Mixed and mastered by Naomune Anzai (Teskey Brothers + Cash Savage and the Last Drinks)the concept album captures ice-cool realms of feminine love, loss, ghosts, and algorithms in answer to the feminist fires of Plaster of Paris' sisterband 2021 release, Lost Familiar, of which all three are members.

Single, Night Moves was released with video Directed by luminary Geoffrey O'Connor in a dreamy, pink limo, champagne afterparty haze the single charted at #1 on Soundcloud's Re-Ex Top 40 Underground Electronic Charts in 2022. US music mag, Austin Town Hall were “drawn to the majesty” of the vocals and music and was described by vocalist Zec Zechner as;

“a trip into 2062, a nuclear storm is endlessly roars outside the window, of a single thirty-something A.I. House Bot, donning kitchen apron and platinum blonde hair is burning the dinner and swirling on the checkered kitchen linoleum floor, on which the the oven drips smoky haze. Alexxa simulates day-dreams, for the long-lost dancefloor with her nostalgic sad indie chill, genre filter, conjuring her implanted memories”.

Escalator single, was launched with video clip and an online Q&A as part of the 2020 Leaps and Bounds Music Festival makes a statement about an artist escaping corporate boredom to fulfil their creative self. Featuring performance artist and painter Billi Lime and directed filmmaker Stephanie Gould (US). The track engaged audiences on YouTube with its meditation on the unfolding of a performer’s work and art-life, joyful collaboration of muse and artist. 

Self-titled debut track Double Vanity immediately grabbed the attention of the local and international airwaves. Its beautiful found footage video clip delved into an ‘80s plaza experience, complete with dream bathroom renovations and lycra-clad dancers, swirling jangle guitar and vocals dissolve in a hypnotic dance. 

During Melbourne's extended lockdown, Double Vanity released the DV EP of remixes of their previous two singles. The Double Vanity Remixes EP features amazing producers and artists Jimmy Cass, shemale crime coven (Angel from Habits), Psychic Hysteria label-mate Astral Skulls and Mino Peric (No Sister) and beloved Estonian electronic music star, Starlight Maker.

Alight the escalator into the skies for an automated trajectory to Love to Leave You out on 30 Sept, 2022 via Psychic Hysteria.

PRESS QUOTES

Night Moves "...it’s all murky atmospheres and sticky melodies, and paired with the brand new clip created by Geoffrey O'Connor, it’s a disorientating yet glamorous ride packed with a potently emotive punch that has us completely hooked." Trouble Juice May 2022

"Zec Zechner’s voice is surely the central focus; you are drawn to the majesty that it presents throughout, with moments that feel like the notes could shatter before your ears" Austin Town Hall (USA) May 2022

“Mixing original synths, vintage drum machines, dreamy Twin Peaks guitars, and otherworldly post-punk vocals their music is a perfect description of analogue sounds.” Visual Atelier 8 (USA) July 2020

“...‘Escalator’ is an ode to life’s relentless upward trajectory and a reminder to stop and smell the roses once in a while. ...I’d say Double Vanity create a potpourri of dream-pop, ambient sound, and melodic post-punk, but with a tousled new-wave glamour that makes the band’s sound feel both contemporary and nostalgic” James Frostick, Weirdo Wasteland June 2020

“... a seasoned group of musicians showing all the footnotes of an important band to come.” Daniel Devlin, Trouble Juice July 2020

“In devising their own genre, Double Vanity nullify the need for generic descriptors, favouring a fresh epithet they can paint their own style onto. Double Vanity are a band whose music expresses feelings that words can’t articulate, with the ability to lure the listener into otherwise confronting self-reflections,” Hum Zine Germany, July 2020

“Melbourne trio Double Vanity has given me chills with the release of its new track ‘Escalator.’ The lush synths and Kate Bush-esque vocals give it a cool retro feel, but there’s an immediate emotional intensity that grounds it in the now.” Sounds of Oz July 2020

“The mesmerizing moody approach to the flowing vocals really made this track for me, perfectly supplementing the ethereal instrumental in creating an absolutely hypnotic and alluring soundscape.” Underrated blog (USA) August 2020

“I’m a metal dude and this song is absolutely amazing.” Manzanamandinga, YouTube Double Vanity’s, self titled, video page Double Vanity comment 2020

"It's like 1984 crawled out of my speakers and cradled me" Heurt, legendary Soundcloud 'Escalator' comment 2020
