The side project of
31Knots and
Menomena guitarist Joe Haege,
Vin Blanc finds the Portland, Oregon-based musician exploring his synthy side. Adding his own blend of progressive elements to synth pop,
Vin Blanc has a sound that manages to feel paradoxically cold and warm, merging tightly programmed elements with live instruments to create an almost mechanically rhythmic sound. Recorded largely in a van while on tour in Europe with
31Knots, Haege’s debut as
Vin Blanc, Chroma Key, was released in 2011 on Polyvinyl. ~ Gregory Heaney
