VAST is one man band that is the brainchild of Jon Crosby. VAST is an acronym that stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater, which was also the name of their debut album which came out in 1998. What I’ve heard of that record has a somewhat industrial feel with some songs like “Pretty When You Cry” and more a British rock feel on tunes like “Touched.” In 2000 VAST released their sophomore album Music For People which mixed hard rock like “Free” with more mellow tracks like today’s song. VAST didn’t release another record until 2004’s Nude, which was probably their best release. Since then, VAST has released various remix and demo CDs and another full length entitled April, which was only available online in 2006. April has since been released in stores with six additional songs that weren’t on the online version. Today’s song is a little sad and kind of sappy, but I really dig the strings on this one. I also can’t help but think of U2 when I hear it. VAST is a group that has kind of flown under the radar but you should definitely check them out and see what you’ve been missing.
