Seattle indie pop/indie rock/dream pop outfit Beach Vacation (led by Tabor Rupp) and Cassadaga, Florida dream pop/shoegaze band Cathedral Bells have shared their collaborative single “Blurred Out“.
The track features on Beach Vacation’s upcoming sophomore album ‘Coping Habits‘, set to arrive on September 15th. Grab it here.
Speaking about it, Cathedral Bells’ Matt Messore says: “We’ve both been listening to each other’s music early on & it felt natural to write something together cohesively. On this track, I worked from one of Tabor’s rough ideas that he had demoed out. Tabor did all the guitar parts and I wrote the rhythm section + synth parts. We kept building off of each other’s ideas and before we knew it the whole essence of the song was captured. It’s an honor to have collaborated together and be a part of Beach Vacations upcoming album.”
For his part, Rupp added: “I’ve been listening to Matt’s music since his very first release. It’s been awesome to see his growth and improvement. The songs always stand out to me and get stuck in my head, so to be able to collaborate and finish a song together from scratch was amazing. I’m super excited and honored to have this song on my album and am looking forward to the future of both our projects.”
