Vessel are an Atlanta quartet who play post-punk with bright bursts of melody (via both singing and saxophone) and lithe, elastic rhythm. Their music leans closer to indie rock than pop, but I appreciate that they make post-punk feel more like a party than a very serious art project. Ahead of a few dates opening for their Atlanta forebears Omni, they’ve announced debut album Wrapped In Cellophane today, and you’d be a complete idiot not to listen to new single “Game” below along with the previously released “Telephone” and “Whatcha Doin.”
