New Music: Tear Council - Anywhere
A couple of the Van She gang get back together with smooth af results.. Headed by Matt Van Schie (Van She/Du Tonc), Tear Council is a new outlet for Van Schie, and one that sees him re-uniting with former Van She bandmate Michael Di Francesco, probably better known to you as the bass-happy bandit Touch Sensitive. The first single from a double A side release, Anywhere is a solid preview of what's to from Sydney’s Tear Council – a project described by Van Schie as an outlet for his “more emotional outpourings”. Anywhere packs some serious Ryan Gosling-looking-moody-and-driving-around vibes, whilst simultaneously already feeling like an essential summer tune. Take a listen below, and get ready for plenty more Tear Council as Van Schie gears up for debut live performances this April and a video for Anywhere due in March.
