Rory McVicar is a musician and songwriter who lives in London. He has played live with the likes of Josh T. Pearson, Bat for Lashes and Jason Molina, recorded sessions for Huw Stephens and Rob da Bank on Radio 1, and released records under a variety of different labels.

"Toothache / Alone I'll Be" (VAN298) is a double A-side 7" single taken from McVicar's forthcoming album, entitled "Wednesday Week".
