Press: Van Allen Belt video of the day on This Week In New York

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

The Van Allen Belt video “Out To Lunch” is video of the day on This Week In New York!

“The Van Allen Belt has created engaging psychedelic pop rooted in 1960s melodies and harmonies, albeit with an edge reminiscent of the Fiery Furnaces. Led by singer Tamar Kamin’s dreamy vocals and multi-instrumentalist B. K. Ferris, the band continually offers up surprising diversions, throwing in a touch of Las Vegas lounge here, some progressive rock there, with even a little military march for good measure.”
