We’d been hearing raves about Glasgow-band, Veronica Falls<\/strong>, but after quickly checking out a few of their offerings, we were frankly nonplussed (turns out attention-deficit can be a bane–who knew?).\u00a0 And then we stumbled upon Insound’s<\/strong><\/a> recent charismatic capture of the band in their Studio Sessions<\/strong>, and the quick-strum, propulsive, over-the-falls, nostalgic sound of the band performing their new song, Bury Me Alive<\/strong><\/em>, <\/strong><\/em>and the comely Come On Over<\/strong><\/em> (off of their eponymous debut album). <\/strong><\/em>And thereafter we’ve been falling all over for Veronica Falls.\u00a0 These are players who play their instruments with fervor and skill, but ultimately mesh their sound into a beguiling, intertwined whole, and in so doing remind us conceptually of the seminal Feelies<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Their lyrics oft-times center around mordant themes, but the band as said this about that:\u00a0 “[The lyrics] are not really meant to be taken at face value, to be totally honest,\u201d says Roxanne. \u201cThey\u2019re tongue-in-cheek. Like how Daniel Johnson and Roky Erickson wrote lyrics that are so far fetched, it is more about the imagery and storytelling. If you take it literally then more fool you.”\u00a0 With continued growth and evolution, this young band will be a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n Check out those two performances from Insound Studio Sessions<\/strong><\/a> below, and then check out their more punkish Beachy Head<\/strong><\/em> (evidently a reference to a suicide spot).\u00a0\u00a0 Pass the Ray-Bans, you never know what or who might fall at your feet.\u00a0 Great stuff.<\/p>\n Bury Me Alive<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n
