at last, the debut album from london's indie pop sensations veronica falls. the album is full of joyous and bouncy poptastic nuggets with meltingly beautiful female / male melodies and something considerably darker that tugs at your heart. you may already be familiar with the singles 'found love in a graveyard' and the galloping dick dale-meets-nico surf rocker 'beachy head' (an ode, naturally, to the infamous suicide hotspot), but here the sound and emotional palette are expanded - though still grounded in the shadows. 'right side of my brain; is a snarling and vicious beast, all sharp hooks and barbed wire, while 'the fountain' is more gloriously morose yet achingly beautiful pop. these dueling contrasts reach a gorgeous epitome on the astonishing 'misery,' as guitarist / vocalist roxanne clifford sings, "misery / it's got a hold of me / misery / my old friend" while, all around her, melting harmonies and chiming guitars ring out, before ending abruptly in an eerie verse sung entirely a capella. elsewhere, the brightly scrubbed 'stephen' may be one of the most touching declarations of friendship ever, while 'the box' is a bona-fide indie anthem in the making.
