VH x RR | “Persistence of Memory”

VH x RR’s Debut EP "Persistence of Memory”

Cold wave electronic duo VH x RR ‘s much awaited debut EP has dropped through Lakeshore Records. The sublime 5-track offering gives nod to new wave nostalgia, but modernized and stylized with artfully crafted atmospheric dynamics, bright, shimmery arpeggiated synths over heavy, undulating bass grooves reminiscent of early Depeche Mode and New Order. Vocalist Rob Rowe delivers a new brand of irresistible smoky romance through nonchalant lyricism and moody vibe that would make listeners stop dead at their tracks and dance along.

VH x RR was founded in 2016 by Kent “Von” Hertzog and Rob Rowe. Hertzog reached out to Rowe on Twitter and essentially cold-called him to see if they could work together. They got along well, realizing that their lives had a lot of parallels—both were working for themselves in the ad world and both had in-home studios that allowed them to quickly sketch ideas and share them over the Internet. As we could see, the two could create magic.
