Divergence & DeclarationVague Lanes12 Album (Clear vinyl) (Limited Edition)Genre: RockDescription: Divergence and Declaration is the second album by San Francisco Bay Area Darkwave duo Vague Lanes. The album features their signature two-bass configuration with Mike Cadoo (Gridlock) handling the melodic six-string duties. At the same time Badger McInnes (Here We Burn) propels the music forward with his low-end four-string.The album opener Heptahedron also features drums by Martin Atkins (P.I.L. Ministry Killing Joke). The album's title eludes to the refinement and solidification of Vague Lane's manifesto and by utilizing a more expanded pallet than their debut album Foundation and Divergence the duo displays confidence in their creative trajectory and the overall substance of their musical voice.Vague Lanes are often compared to genre epitomes such as The Cure Cocteau Twins Lowlife Godflesh and Nine Inch Nails. However the music the duo creates is never just one facet of such influences; on the contrary Vague Lanes employs the genre overlaps of darkwave post-punk shoegaze and industrial music to new levels on Divergence and Declaration and in the process constructs a sound that blurs the lines in which Vague Lanes inhabits.
