First things first. Veronica Falls ’ first album was great fun: twelve medicinal earworms laced with C86-ified sugar, and pretty addictive to boot. As second efforts go, this one here is more than decent, but the trouble with Waiting For Something To Happen is hinted at within the title itself – that selfish bugger known as life has a tendency to happen while you’re sat around waiting for it. From the breezy chimes of ‘Tell Me Everything’'s opening riff, it’s clear that things aren’t quite the same this time round. Two [...]
Veronica Falls "Teenage" still has me in awe with every new listen. I had high hopes for "Buried Alive" the next track shared from Waiting For Something To Happen . Although the lyrical content about being buried alive isn't the most cheery of subjects, the band keep things sounding cheery throughout. There's not many goth-rockers out there that can make it sound so bright. Waiting For Something To Happen comes out February 12 via Slumberland Records .
"Waiting for Something to Happen is indeed a record truly worthy of the description very simple title of 'near-perfect three-minute indie pop..." Veronica Falls | Waiting For Something To Happen Serving their time in bands such as Sexy Kids and Your Twenties, the four members that make up Veronica Falls came together in 2009 before putting out what many see as their signature tune, the 'Found Love in the Graveyard' single, early the following year. I guess one could call it their 'This Charming Man', the tune many recognise them by, yet isn't necessarily their best [...]
photo by Nate Watters ( view set ) From their very first single, "Found Love in a Graveyard," London by way of Glasgow band Veronica Falls set the tone of their future releases: their sunny take on gloomy topics makes for happy listening in the darkened Northwest, that's for sure. Their 2011 self-titled debut channeled everyone from 602s girl bands and 802s gloom rockers like The Jesus & Mary Chain to psychedelic rockers like The Velvet Underground. On their forthcoming LP, Waiting for Something to Happen (already in KEXP's rotation), Veronica Falls [...]
Il disco "Waiting For Something To Happen" (Bella Union, 4 febbraio) segna il ritorno dei Veronica Falls . Primo ascolto in streaming questa "Buried Alive": TRACK STREAM: Veronica Falls - Buried Alive pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES
Veronica Falls will release their sophomore LP Waiting For Something To Happen on February 12, 2013 via Slumberland + Bella Union. We've already heard the dynamite indie-pop of "Teenage" and now Veronica Falls is offering up "Buried Alive", which we have below. "Buried Alive" shows the same kind of promise that "Teenage" did, playing towards the band's "goth pop" sensibilities. Though calling Veronica Falls "goth pop" seems a little too easy, because what the fuck is that anyway? Veronica Falls are the kind of revivalists that bring an [...]
When a band writes a record that you hold in such high esteem, news of the follow-up always comes with a certain mix of excitement and unease. Honestly, up to this point, there has been no record more eagerly anticipated around these parts than Veronica Falls' sophomore LP Waiting For Something To Happen . And the band absolutely nails their second outing. The record is everything that could have been hoped coming off of the debut. Its still perching on the edge of sweet and sinister, the sugary sweetness of the three part harmonies tempered by the sense of [...]
This year I was impressed with a bunch of new tracks. It is REALLY hard for me to narrow it down to a TOP TEN! Instead, I narrowed it down to a TOP 25. As you can see, my taste is quite all over the place. Check it out. Anita Baker - Lately Little Boots - Headphones Alabama Shakes - I Ain't The Same Madonna - I'm Addicted Sky Ferreira - Everything Is [...]
It's the most wonderful time of the year: A time when the promise of next year's pop records still shines bright like a diamond, free of the crippling reality of weak lead singles, terrible cover art and disappointing chart positions. (Remember how excited we all were for The Spirit Indestructible this time last year? Eesh...) There's plenty of major albums coming our way in 2013 by both veterans and up-and-comers alike, so as I do yearly, I've put together a guide to some of the most titillating releases just on the horizon. This [...]
Reza gets darker. Quite simply three words that most people probably would not believe. In recent years a name that has become synonymous with melodic dubstep perfection has been Los Angeles producer PatrickReza . Recently named #34 top DJ in Los Angeles by thedjlist.com , PatrickReza has been riding a wave of recent success. And with a massive tour in the works, why not add a little filth to his repertoire? Last night marked the release of something on the heavier side for Reza. The addition of industrial sounding bass over Jessica and Lisa Origliasso's punchy vocals [...]
This Veronicas vocal track just suits the dubstep treatment so well. PatrickReza on: SoundCloud | Facebook | Twitter // just ziad Related posts: Moby - Extreme Ways (PatrickReza Remix) PatrickReza - Come Alive ft. Ingrid [FreeDL] From My Inbox: Owen Bones, Alex Klinger, PatrickReza and Jonny Chino
There's a rule we have around The Music Ninja office. It pretty much says that if Patrick Reza is releasing something, we post it. We've watched Patrick progress over the past year, and each remix he does just continues to impress us. It won't be long before this young producer is running with the big boys. In this latest track, Patrick has been slated to do an official remix of The Veronicas' "Lolita." The Australian twin sister pop duo released the original earlier this year. It already has a very heavy EDM sound, it's easy to see [...]
Cold Showers have released a new video for "BC" which comes from their recent Dais-released LP Love and Regret . Check out that video below, along with a stream of their whole album (via Rdio). Look for Cold Showers on the road in 2013, playing a select set of US dates opening for Veronica Falls . Make sure and head to Bowery Ballroom early on March 8 to catch them. Tickets are still available . [...]
Das amerikanische Slumberland-Label ist ja seit Jahren bekannt für eine erlesene Bandauswahl im Bereich Schrammelpop und Indiegitarren. So verwundert es nicht, dass auch die Briten von Veronica Falls dort ihre Musik veröffentlichen, wie z.B. ihre neue Single «Teeange» vom im Februar erscheinenden Zweitling «Waiting for something to happen» : Und ebenso Girls Names , ein Quartett aus Belfast, dessen neuer Song «Hpynotic regression» eher in Richtung Post-Punk tendiert, [...]
You may have had them tagged as goth-tinged pop fantasists, but with their much anticipated sophomore album Waiting For Something To Happen , Veronica Falls easily shrug off any notions of a difficult second album to create something that is easily more polished, more affecting, and more enduring than their peers would dream of making, and stake their claim as one of the most gloriously unpredictable and invaluable bands on the scene right now. Recorded with Rory Attwell (Male Bonding, The Vaccines), Waiting For Something To Happen [...]
La banda de indie pop londinense Veronica Falls estrenó el video para su sencillo “ Teenage ”, el cual formará parte del álbum Waiting For Something To Happen , que se espera para febrero del próximo año. El video para “ Teenage ” nos recuerda a los de bandas noventeras encabezadas también por chicas, como Elastica o Veruca Salt , la canción tiene un sonido a la Belle and Sebastian , aunque más girly .
This is a new song from my old nemesis, Veronica Falls. Nemesis, you ask? Well yes, this band, as far as I am aware, used to be the poster child for the 'holy shit you don't want to Google that band name' generation: Sexy Kids. Right up there with Young Girls. Veronica Falls is definitely not as snappy, but I am still glad they changed it. So they've made themselves a little more family friendly, and the tunes are still good. It doesn't, I have to confess, excite me very much though. There's a charming retroism [...]
