Vain Pursuit let Fears sparkle through the jangle-pop haze

Vain Pursuit’s Fears carries one of those classic indie contradictions: the title suggests anxiety, but the sound world points toward shimmer. Released on 1 June from Meaningless Miles, the New York project’s track is tagged around indie rock, dream pop and jangle pop. That is a strong lane for songs about unease, because jangle pop has always been good at making sadness sound like sunlight bouncing off the wrong window. Fears appears to sit in that emotional overlap, where guitars can be bright and the feeling underneath can still be complicated. The broader Meaningless Miles campaign also gives the track context, suggesting a full project built around movement, memory and the small emotional distances people carry around with them. For fans of melodic independent guitar pop, this is exactly the kind of Bandcamp discovery that can quietly become a repeat listen.
