Vague’s full-length album 'Footsteps' should’ve been playing on our record player by this date, but due to the troubles in production, the release date is postponed. The good news is they decide to fill the void by releasing the second single from the album. “Dissonance” is a perfect follow up to the previously released single, “Inadequate”.

Because sometimes it’s a tricky decision in choosing single for albums, just like how some movies are a disappointment because the trailer is already revealing its best parts. Hopefully we’ll get the album soon to prove that our concern is just a false paranoia.
