The Vanrays were midway through recording a new album (the Put It Out sessions) when the whole world shut down. We finished these versions of  Shake My Hand and Survivors as our EastVanSoul Social Distancing Anthems. (SOUL-cial Distancing?)  We had bed tracks and scratch vocals recorded, but added the rest on our own and stitched them together in our effort to keep our music alive in trying pandemic times. 

As well, the videos were filmed each on our own and similarly stitched together. They capture our over-zoomed world of the day. See them HERE.

We put these songs out exclusively as a BANDCAMP release.
