Toronto’s yacht-rock sensation, The Boathouse, has released their latest single, “On VHS,” which effortlessly blends the nostalgic sounds of AM Gold with the dynamic energy of 90s power pop. This track takes listeners on a nocturnal journey into the mind of a character experiencing an existential crisis in a convenience store. The evocative lyrics, inspired by a humorous article in The Onion, paint vivid scenes of late-night wanderings and introspective musings.
The song’s production stands out with its slick acoustic grooves and Vincent Spilchuk’s fiery synth lines that cut through the mix with precision. Carlin Nicholson’s (of Zeus) masterful mixing adds a touch of Grecian magic, elevating the track to new heights. As a writer, it’s clear that “On VHS” captures a unique blend of melancholic nostalgia and upbeat tempos, making it a must-listen for fans of both classic and contemporary sounds.
