great lyrics, and I love the bit -sounding synth? reminds me of video game sounds!

Top lyrics, Mr Vorton! You capture that excited / undcertain vibe rather wonderfully. And then aligning it with somewhat chipper music that still strays a bit towards the minor side of things at times is just ideal 😀

Oh, wow. I like this so much. It’s such a great song about slipping back and forth between different places. That first verse is so much fun, the way it slips from a bucolic fairytale world to the bands. I want to tell you which are my favorite lines but it’s pretty much every one. Amazing to me that this one was written music first, because the lyric is so perfect. I noticed yesterday after ten days away that maybe after a coupe of decades living in New York City I am kind of from here. Oh, and your charming guitar sounds fantastic to me.

wow, this is really disarming and wonderful- love the conversational tone of the lyric - and the music and arrangement and production frames it all so well. great work! ah, city v country, the age old debate! 'what didnt thrill me hasn't made me stronger' is such a great line, by the way! (so many great lines in this song actually!)

Love the chiptuney synth intro, and that drum machine beat sounds great with the acoustics. Really like the choral synth pad thingy that comes in on the second verse too. Love the lyrics, loads of great lines in particular "gripped by the greenness of the grass so I upgraded my guest pass". Great!

That acoustic guitar/crunchy drums/lo-fi synth combo sounds so warm and inviting! The lyrics are a perfect mix of confessional and wry, favorite lines are “voyaging to distant lands / and listening to rock and roll bands” and “so much lore”. Love this one.

Nice twists on time-worn cliches throughout. Favorite line: "doors unlocked with a brand new key / to find room after room of anxiety"

I love that indie-pop sensibility. Lots of fun references in your lyrics that I think I get from knowing you, but it's also portrayed in a universal way. I think the palm-muted acoustic gives it a nice breeziness along with that nice organ patch. I gave this 3 whole listens back to back, one of my favourites of yours this Feb

Hell yeah for geographical rebirth. I think I've copied your tendency to use sextet verses. They just seem so inherently Vommy (complimentary, not norovirally). Great lyrics as per - 'what didn't thrill me hadn't made me stronger'. Many things to admire here: the chiptuney intro. I really liked the call-answer bits on the organ in the verse, the double stops that harmonise the vocal on the guitar. There's just lots of charm here, outside of timing! So glad your move from Not in the City, to Nott, in the City has been so fruitful.

Great song. The opening chord progression really grabs you. Melodies are terrific throughout and the whole thing flows so nicely between each section

So catchy.. and great harmonies! "I know I shouldn't miss my comfort zone...." such a great line.

This feels like it might have been quite therapeutic to write, was it? I miss living in a city - London, Southampton and Birmingham were my longest city stints - and being a country bumpkin these days, I find the lack of things to do or that are happening to often be fairly dull. Not always, just quite often. I love the space and nature and stuff, but it would be great to go to a gig on the doorstep, just occasionally. Your Insta feed with all the gigs is quite the vicarious way to feel connected to things! So, thanks for sharing!

The music here is great - I love the way you arrange and mesh the guitars and keys - always something engaging to listen to. The beautifully constructed words get across your anxieties, the vocals are great. And the BVs? Harmonies in the early choruses, and those counting counter-melodies at the end, they're just so, so good. I love details like that.

This is a Deloreon ride back to the 80s. The comfort zone/cover blown couplet hits strong and very effectively.

Well this is candy-coated twee pop at its finest. Guitar sounds awesome, as do all the various adornments, including those bvox. From my point of view as someone with a point of view who has listened to a lot of VV, this is among your best. Could use more squeaky chair, though. When you say, The City, do you mean The City?
