Vincent HL is proud to release his newest track Pile of Dirt, a languid, slacker 'nightmare country' offering from his upcoming full album Golden Sun, along with a self-made video featuring tripped out masks, driveway jams, and a fisheye lense.

Vincent HL writes what he knows, tales of stoned isolation, outsider observations of rank outsiders, days hanging out or driving around with nowhere to be and nothing to do, sun-kissed reflections of new love and nighttime laments of lost love’s longings, all at the meter of semi-rural life on the edge of the big city. With instrumentation tracked by Vincent HL, and a little bit of bass and slide guitar by his “consigliere” Matt Short (Magic Factory, Vietnam War, Sola Rosa, The Feelers), all tracks from Golden Sun were completed at their awesome but short-lived studio/clubhouse “The Panther Room”.

Growing up on the fringes is inevitable when your parents are commercial veggie growers in 1980's Kumeu, and you are of mixed Chinese and European whakapapa. While the kids in the suburbs run as neighbourhood packs, or hang out at the localz mall, your folks are working... always working.. you've got to make your own fun and trouble.
