As they showed on their previous single “The Hearse”, Portland duo WAMPIRE add a whole new shade to the indie pop genre. They’re meticulous as they are laid back and “Spirit Forest” is an example of how trained instruments can dance off of each other, letting the pulse of a recording get down with flirtatious organs and guitar licks. It’s a skill that makes Rocky Tinder and Eric Phipps seem like overlooked geniuses and that “eeriness” is a brand new drug.
