Vera Sola
Doors 19:00
Alternately cast as the "lost love child of Leonard Cohen and Nancy Sinatra" and "PJ Harvey at her most
irate, teeth-bared” Vera Sola makes timeless, time-bending sound. With an ethereal voice and a
haunting body of song, Vera Sola is back with ‘Peacemaker’ her sophomore album set for release on 2nd
February, 2024.
Peacemaker follows Vera Sola's critically acclaimed 2018 debut Shades. The record is at times bold and
orchestral while retaining some of the dirt and grit that was present under the fingernails of Shades,
realising a whole world while managing to also find remarkable detail in snapshot vignettes. "if one
were to unroll the mind, and watch as the moments that coalesce into memories rise from the map into
relief. It’s a collection of stories stitched together with that particular dreamlike quality which allows for
disparate spaces to converge into a single scarcely knowable vastness".
Peacemaker is out 2 nd February 2024 on City Slang and Spectraphonic Records.
