Vince Vincent is the kind of artist who doesn’t just bend genres—he melts them down and recasts them into something entirely his own. The new project from Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Victor Bustani, Vince Vincent emerges from London’s buzzing underground with a boldness that reflects both his roots and his evolution. Known for co-founding São Paulo’s celebrated band Inky—who’ve graced the stage alongside legends like LCD Soundsystem, The Vaccines, and Morrissey—Bustani has long been comfortable standing at the intersection of sound and emotion. But with Vince Vincent, he pushes further, embracing a fusion of rock, electronic, funk, and jazz that feels like a sonic mirage—always shifting, always entrancing.
His latest single, “The Sun Is The Moon,” captures that essence perfectly. It’s a hypnotic descent into the foggy heart of a relationship gone sideways, where love becomes distortion and clarity is replaced with questions that echo unanswered. The title alone hints at the duality at play—the contradiction of warmth and cold, of something meant to illuminate instead becoming obscured. From the very first beat, the track lures you into a dizzying swirl of disco grooves and indie grit, tethered to flashes of electronic shimmer that cut through like distant lightning.
Vincent’s voice floats through the mix like a wounded signal—aching, wandering, searching. The lyrics don’t offer neat answers or grand resolutions. Instead, they sit in the thick of uncertainty, where affection starts to rot into confusion and passion burns out into a cold ache. There’s beauty in the chaos, though. Each sonic element—the tight funk-inflected bassline, the scratch of distorted guitars, the cascading synths—feels meticulously placed to reflect emotional dissonance. You’re dancing, maybe even smiling, but there’s a tension there. A weight.
“The Sun Is The Moon” doesn’t just play in your ears—it lingers in your chest. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever been in that liminal space of a relationship, where you’re not sure what’s real anymore, where love looks familiar but somehow feels like something else entirely. Vince Vincent captures that strange melancholy with striking precision, giving us a track that’s as introspective as it is infectious. In a world of easy categorizations, he’s making music that refuses to sit still—and that’s exactly what makes it worth listening to.
