Stream HERE
The conclusion of a journey that began with their 2022 LP ‘Visions’, indie rockers RED VOX have released the other half of what has grown into a double album – ‘Visions and Afterthoughts’.
The New York-based group’s new full-length, ‘Afterthoughts’, is out today, and features the singles “Almost a Stranger”, “Forgetter”, and “Playing By The Rules”.
Commenting on the album, the band shares:
"’Afterthoughts’ completes the fifth Red Vox LP; the double album 'Visions and Afterthoughts'. Releasing a year after ‘Visions’, the songs range from upbeat, groove-based rock to darker and more contemplative meditations. The ten songs have a heavy synth and guitar focus and can be enjoyed on their own merits or as part of the whole."

About RED VOX:
RED VOX is a New York City based indie rock band created by Vinny, Mike, Joe, and Billin 2015. Beginning primarily as a two-piece, RED VOX would eventually incorporate the talents of all four members. All recordings have been done at Red Room Studios, engineered by Joe of Happy Anarchy fame. Somewhat aimless at first, the band came together in time due to Joe's production style and bass groundwork.
Without adhering to one specific genre, RED VOX take inspiration from a number of classic and contemporary rock bands. Vinny has said that bands like Radiohead, Pixies, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Cars, Wilco, MGMT, The Clash, Tame Impala, Queens of the Stone Age and Talking Heads were influences. Some may consider their music psychedelic, though not exclusively so.
According to Vinny, the name of the band came from a dream. This became a sort of theme for RED VOX as multiple songs have been claimed to originate from dreams. Released in 2016, the band's debut album, ‘What Could Go Wrong’ stayed somewhat rooted in guitar driven rock reminiscent of the early 90s. It would show signs of things to come for RED VOX, including a melody that would later appear on ‘Another Light’.
The 9-minute pseudo-prog song “Stranded” and brisk acoustic album ‘Kerosene’ would follow. In 2020, the band released their follow-up to ‘Another Light’, ‘Realign’, a synth heavy and groove focused record that captures the diversity of styles RED VOX is capable of.
Currently, RED VOX is releasing their 20-song double album, 'Visions and Afterthoughts' – a combination of their 2022 full-length, ‘Visions’, and their new studio effort, ‘Afterthoughts’.
Both albums are available now on streaming platforms, with a formal physical release for the double LP coming towards the end of 2023.
