Episode 210: VHS Collection

For Episode 210 of Look At My Records!, Tom spoke with Nils, James, and Connor of Manhattan synth-pop extraordinaires VHS Collection. The veteran act has been bringing their infectious sound to rooms across the country for the better part of the last half-decade, and in February, they shared their highly anticipated second full-length, Night Drive.  After finding a ton of success as an independent band, the trio signed with the Tiger Tone imprint for the release of Night Drive, teaming up with renowned producer Tony Hoffer. During the interview, the band dished on all things Night Drive, including what it was like working with Hoffer and the challenges that came with putting the record during the pandemic. Plus, they shared a bit about their origins as Phish-heads at boarding school, the concept that inspired the sound and vibe of Night Drive, what went into their decision to work with a label after being a successful independent band for so long, and much more. Plus, the trio picked some awesome records from Tom’s collection, including some choice cuts from The Police, Nas, and LCD Soundsystem. You can follow along with their picks via the official playlist for Episode 210. You can stream Night Drive on your platform of choice. Keep up with VHS Collection by following them on Instagram.
