Tom Vek

British pop talent Tom Vek returns with new material after yet another long wait between albums. True, it's only been three years since his last record, Leisure Seizure—nothing compared to the six-year gap after We Have Sound—but that's still a long time to go without a fresh dose of Vek's Talking Heads-ish raw riffs, sharp edges and baritone vocals. His new tracks boast bigger beats and production, but still offer his unique "garage rock for the Pro Tools generation." Catch him during his first visit to the U.S. in three years this October, as he plays an intimate show at the Echo behind said new record, Luck.
