2011 album from the British Indie quartet. The very best pop music mixes sweetness and light with dissonance and darkness, injects a perfectly addictive harmony with something sadder, stranger. Think of the gloomy melodrama of "Tell Laura I Love Her," which kick started the teenage tragedy song craze in the "60s, the bleak farewell of "Seasons in the Sun" in the "70s, even The Smiths" "Girlfriend in a Coma" in the "80s: all meltingly beautiful melodies with something considerably darker lurking at their hearts; the black cloud on a summer"s day, the bruise on a perfect face. It"s into this long and storied lineage that London four-piece Veronica Falls quite happily fit. Welcome to the slanted and enchanted world of Veronica Falls, where serendipity, subversion, providence and a shared love for Roky Erickson"s worldview all play a crucial part
