Voxtrot have shared “My Peace,” the track, is the Texas band’s third single since reuniting. The song follows previous singles “Another Fire” and “New World Romance. ”

Voxtrot has announced Texas tour dates which will include shows in Houston on February 29 at The Secret Group, March 1 in San Antonio at Paper Tiger and March 2 in Dallas at Deep Ellum Art Co. This spring the band will be performing at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. The festival will take place from May 29 – June 2.

On the single the band’s Ramesh Srivastava says:

“My Peace” is a retelling of my journey as a professional musician…

Early last year when I was visiting Los Angeles, I had dinner with Rostam Batmanglij, who is of course known for his work with Vampire Weekend, as well as his solo catalog and numerous productions and collaborations (Haim, Clairo, Frank Ocean, etc). Rostam and I have written together on several songs – including “Now I’m In It” by Haim – and we have been friends since the early days of Voxtrot. After dinner he offered to give me a ride back to where I was staying, on the condition that I play him the new Voxtrot demos en route.

He had largely positive feedback but gave one criticism: as I understood it, he wished he could get a firmer sense of the “Ramesh behind the songs”… a place name, a timestamp … anything to indicate that it was me singing about my life. I thought about this when writing “My Peace,” and decided to be very direct about my early experiences as a young hyped musician, the heartbreak of losing that hype, and the subsequent years of hard work and ego battling that have brought me home to a place of truly loving music and being utterly committed to it.

In terms of the full-band arrangement, I love how Jared took my simple chord progression and transformed it into the melancholy folk riff in the breakdown. The syncopated groove of the rhythm section and auxiliary percussion is somewhat new territory for Voxtrot, as is the saxophone-and-guitar duet. Although there were already plans to include a trumpet, I was self-conscious about suggesting the saxophone (since it’s such a specific sound), but in the end Kelly Pratt’s one-man horn section was a game changer and I can’t imagine the song without it.

We had a blast making “My Peace” and we hope you enjoy it!
