New music from Vibrant Green on Amalgam mixtape

Vibrant Green, one of Trekky Records' first bands, hasn't released new music for over 6 years. Over that time, songwriter Stephen Tunnell has been slowly but surely building his canon of brilliant songs. Eventually, Ari Picker of Lost in the Trees (a long-tome devotee of Vibrant Green) convinced Stephen to record some of his new songs. The pair recorded a collection of 7 songs together, including "Rather", which now appears on our Amalgam mixtape. You can now stream and download "Rather" for a "pay-whatever-you-like" price. The mixtape itself comes out on March 6 and features songs from Lost in the Trees, Midtown Dickens, Phil Cook & His Feat, Brice Randall Bickford and many more. The release show is this Friday in Chapel Hill at Nightlight.
