Born in South Africa of Sri Lankan heritage, the genre-bending independent artist is now very much at home in Melbourne, Australia. American audiences got a closer look when Vandal made her debut at Coachella.
Here’s a talent who effortlessly fuses rock with hip-hop, punk, jazz, electronic and pretty much anything she wants, an performer with more raw energy than an arena on grand final day. On Wednesday night, May 20, another debut as Vandal made her first appearance on U.S. TV with a powerful performance onChance the Rapper Performs Stirring Muhammad Ali Tribute 'I Was a Rock' at Gordon Parks Foundation Annual Awards Sporting blue-toned hair and leading a tight backing tandem of electric guitar and drums, Vandal ripped through “Cruising to Self Soothe,” lifted from her forthcoming studio albumThe collection was recorded and produced by Richie Buxton and Ecca Vandal in Buxton’s childhood bedroom in bayside Melbourne.
“We cut out everything that didn’t serve us, the timelines, the metrics, the pressure to ‘stay visible’ online. We tuned out of the feed and turned inwards,” she has said of the project. In Richie’s room, they built a tiny home studio.
“Four walls that became a universe,” she recounts. “The Internet was painfully slow, so we were truly disconnected from the online game. ” Far away from their inner-city friends, and distractions, that little room “became our whole world for nearly two years. It held all our chaos and all our clarity, a little ‘playpen’ where we could live, play and experiment like teenagers again.
We started making things with our hands again, tangible, imperfect, and real. We wanted to celebrate long-form, the idea of an album as a whole body of work, while the world was chasing 15-second snippets and algorithm friendly noise. ” The Ecca Vandal experience has been lived on stage, with spots at Camp Flog Gnaw and support slots with the likes of Limp Bizkit, Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, The Prodigy, and, most recently, Deftones.
