Listening to…

Veronica Falls, Bad Feeling.

I wish all ‘60s music could be turned inside out so they sound like this. All the base ingredients of classic pop have been reprioritized for modern minds so that the beats are in your face, the harmonies are somewhere in the middle, and the lead vocals, while prominent, sound like they’re being thought rather than yelped. Bravo, production team! And kudos too to the director of the song’s video, Philippa Bloomfield, who understood that there was an outdoor vibe to be mined from a studio-conscious track which many would stage in more confined spaces.

Veronica Falls’ full-blown debut album is due out three weeks from now, on the Slumberland label. Great things are expected.
