We felt an immediate connection with “Dancing On Your Basement Floor “, from Wayward Vine .The words and melodies had us on the edge of our seats as if we were watching cinematic greatness unfold on the silver screen.

“Dancing On Your Basement Floor”, is the latest hypnotic effort from the Boston indie-folk and Americana band, composed of core songwriters Valerie Rachel (harmony vocals and keys) and Greg Lawrence (vocals and acoustic guitar) and a backing band that on this track features Jim St. Pierre on percussion; Boston scene veteran Yoni Gordon on electric guitar; and Jose Downes on bass.

Some songs have a curious way of hanging around long after the music has faded , “Dancing On Your Basement Floor”, is definitely one of those songs .

“‘Dancing On Your Basement Floor’ is the encapsulation of a moment in time that is really beautiful but also short-lived,” says Rachel, a classically trained vocalist, violinist, and pianist. “The story of the song reflects the longing and excitement associated with a newer relationship that isn’t always replicable but usually leaves a mark.”  

Lawrence agrees, adding: “It’s about an intense relationship captured at a moment in time where the relationship has come to a crossroads – do we continue and take it to the next level or do we walk away? Like most romantic relationships, there’s a simple and beautiful innocence to it in the beginning before things escalate and become more complicated. At its core, ‘Dancing’ is a pure love song, with notes of desperation, internal conflict, and sexual intensity mixed in for good measure.” 

Produced by David Minehan, recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, and mixed and mastered by Will Holland at Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, “Dancing On Your Basement Floor” also serves as a compass to Wayward Vine’s debut album, connecting recent releases with new compositions. The long-player will wrangle up the band’s seven prior singles dating back to only last December, including a trio that have emerged so far this year in January’s “History,” March’s “Implode,” and May’s “End of May.” Four new tracks round out the album, where snapshots of modern life are filtered through Rachel and Lawrence’s acute songwriting lens.    

Don’t leave your music loving heart out in the cold, you owe it to yourself to check out “Dancing On Your Basement Floor “ from Wayward Vine
