LAS VEGAS, Nev., Nov. 17, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) \u2013- The Second Spirit, an indie rock project, just released its debut EP, \u201cModern Life,\u201d a five-song album, and its first single, \u201cRescue Car,\u201d which personifies the physicality of love through a retro vibe, rock and roll groove and cool, fuzzy guitar leads.<\/p>\n

\"Matthew
\n\u201cSince it\u2019s my first album, I wanted to demonstrate my broad range of influences,\u201d Matthew Victory Warren, songwriter, producer and busker says. \u201cThe album can\u2019t be characterized by one category. I combined songs that fit into different genres.\u00a0For example, \u2018Rescue Car\u2019 is more garage post rock; \u2018Modern Life\u2019 is more Glam Dreampop Electronica, and others have more of a folk influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part\u00a0psychedelic, part post-rock, the album\u2019s most cinematic side is filled with lush and memorable sonic backdrops that add a sense of depth and emotion to the tracks. On the flip side it gains immediacy and energy from earnest rock and roll influences, hinting at genres as diverse as\u00a0garage, post-punk\u00a0and alternative. It steps into\u00a0Dreampop\u00a0and\u00a0Shoegaze\u00a0genres too.<\/p>\n

Victory sings and plays guitar on all the songs. Other album contributors include Leigh Sogoloff, Justin Stills, Lance Miller, Jeff Johnson, Vinnie Castaldo and Joey Hennigan.<\/p>\n

To fund his love of music, Victory once sold peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from his window with a pulley basket and pull chain bell. Since then, he\u2019s discovered his compositional identity and now embraces his love for classic song-writing, alternative rock and dream-pop, and emphasizes the textural quality of the music as well as the melodic and lyrical components of it.<\/p>\n

He says he\u2019s been influenced by and collaborated with numerous peers, including producer, Phutureprimitive, downtempo project, Snout Music, rapper, Dey La Magia, and artist, Alex Higgins of Alex and His Meal Ticket.<\/p>\n

Victory can often be found playing songs on his pulsating, blue, electroluminescent guitar in the streets of Las Vegas. His clever songwriting and performance ideas simply make people smile.<\/p>\n
