Portland-based pop band Wampire, under the guidance of Jake Portrait from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, are set to release their debut album Curiosity on May 14th via Polyvinyl Records. The band has already released one song from their upcoming record, the darkly atmospheric dream pop haze of “The Hearse,” and now comes our second glimpse of the record in the form of minimalist synth-funk rocker “Spirit Forest.” Stacking carefully echo-laden vocals on top of funk guitar and percolating synths, “Spirit Forest” sounds like The Delfonics as fronted by Johnny Jewel. Listen to the track below. Also check out the band’s upcoming tour dates below the stream.
