The Convenience – Angel

New Orleans duo The Convenience follow their 2025 album “Like Cartoon Vampires” with “Angel”, a jangly one-off single that shifts into different territory. Nick Corson and Duncan Troast wrote and produced the track, with Ross Farbe handling the mix and Carl Saff on mastering.

Corson calls “Angel” a “doomed road trip lullaby”, and that description fits. The song carries ’80s-style college rock vibes, built around jangly guitars and a mellow but engaging approach. Parts of it came together through improvisation in the studio, giving the track a loose, natural feel.

The production keeps things simple and direct. Corson’s vocals sit comfortably in the mix, never pushing too hard but maintaining presence throughout. The song doesn’t chase complexity—it finds its groove and stays there.

Released on Winspear, “Angel” stands on its own rather than serving as a preview of what’s next. After the post-punk energy of “Like Cartoon Vampires”, this single shows the duo can shift gears without losing their identity. The improvised elements give it character, and the road trip lullaby concept comes through in the pacing and mood. It’s a solid addition to their catalogue.
