Vienna Vienna Introduces ‘Glimmer Rock’ And Announces Debut EP
LA-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Vienna Vienna will release his debut EP, Wonderful on October 11th via PULSE Records in collaboration with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz’ label DCD2 via Concord Records.
Describing his music as “glimmer rock, Vienna Vienna fuses dreamy guitar riffs with raw, revealing lyrics. Vienna Vienna sings, “I’m not scared to die, yeah fucking right, you’re too cool to care but you fucking tried…”
The music video for the lead single “Vienna (Everything’s Fine)” is a playful and hallucinogenic music video with Vienna Vienna interrogated by a group of mysterious, surreal orange men. The visuals add an extra layer of intrigue into Vienna Vienna’s unique artistic vision. Watch the video HERE.
“I approach this like I approach everything, facetiously and lathered in distortion,” says Vienna Vienna. “Accepting that people care about you hurts like hell, but could you learn to be more like them? If you poke around inside yourself for long enough, you might see love underneath the rubble; It might be worth digging for.”
Vienna Vienna’s journey to Wonderland has been one of self-discovery and embracing his queer identity, themes that are deeply reflected in the Wonderland EP. Pete Wentz says, “Have you ever heard something that both felt so familiar and so alien all at once? That’s how I felt when I first heard a Vienna Vienna song. The lyricism feels adjacent to something our band would do but also completely new and odd in the best way.”
