Veronica Falls

The debut, UK 150, recorded again in three days after a first attempt was abandoned.
Veronica Falls, 2011

Ash Workman, Simon Trout and Guy Fixsen engineered; Workman and Woodie Taylor mixed and Guy Davie mastered. Slumberland's blurb names the Velvet Underground, Beat Happening, Galaxie 500, Felt and 1960s pop as influences. Metacritic scored it 71. AllMusic gave five stars, with Tim Sendra calling it effortless and truly organic in the best sense, Pitchfork 7.7, Drowned in Sound 9 of 10 and the Guardian 3 of 5. Rough Trade ranked it sixth for 2011. The 15th anniversary reissue adds a bonus LP of covers, including the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb", the Eurythmics' "Thorn in My Side" and the Verlaines' "Joed Out".
