Vexes is re-releasing their debut record Ancient Geometry in Europe via Silent Cult on June 21. The re-release will feature covers of "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears, "Shattered Dreams" by Johnny Hates Jazz, and Voices Carry" by 'Til Tuesday. Here's what the band had to say about working with Silent Cult.
"We are thrilled to be working with Silent Cult and to have the opportunity to have our music be heard by an expanded audience around the globe through the reissue of our debut album Ancient Geometry. We’ve been writing for the better part of nine months or so now for the follow up to AG, and as a “break” from that process and as basically a thank you to anyone that has listened to us thus far, we wanted to put our spin on a few of our favorite songs from the 1980’s. All of the songs that we chose were very influential to us in various ways, both from the standpoint of our personal lives and in the general vibe of our music. There is a lushness and delicate quality to the sound of the original tracks, and such a great pop sensibility, and this is something that we try to incorporate in our sound, while trying to blend this with a bit of ferocity and vulnerability as well. We hope that everyone enjoys our take on these classic tracks."
The covers are also available as their own digital EP called Versions, which you can stream below. Grab the new version of Ancient Geometry here and check out the Tears For Fears cover, which absolutely rips.
