Veronica Falls

"It's weird to think that such a quintessentially British sound – the mid-1980s indie jangle of the C86 "anorak" bands – is now becoming so synonymous with New York acts, such as Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts and Pain, that anyone making that style of music today is going to seem to be in hock to the Americans. (...) Significantly, their debut single Found Love In A Graveyard was first issued by a US label."

"Veronica Falls are one of the British groups starting a process of reclamation. They actually hail from one of the original homes of this sort of twee shambles, Scotland – Glasgow, to be precise – where the Pastels came from. Funnily enough, Roxanne from Veronica Falls once worked in Glasgow coffee/music shop Monorail, in which the Pastels are apparently partners. Even funnier is that the C86 approach – based on a series of bands collected together on a cassette given away free (via coupons) with the NME in 1986 with a similar sound, if not ethos, that John Peel termed "shambling" – is proving so irresistible for today's generation."
