La Big Vic Soar on Prismatic ‘Cold War’ Title Track

La Big Vic

The title track from La Big Vic’s sophomore album, Cold War, answers its own question. “Are we really here?” sings Emilie Friedlander, a vocalist and violinist who is also a music journalist. Friedlander is joined in the Brooklyn trio by keyboardist Peter Pearson and guitarist Toshio Masuda, who bring with them their own disparate ties: to Pink Floyd, to Japanese pop music. As on previously surfaced Cold War cuts “Ave. B” and “All That Heaven Allows,” it all comes to a heady gestalt, luminescent with electronics and sinuous with classical instrumentation. La Big Vic are here, and, as it happens, so is Cold War: The album is out today via Underwater Peoples
