Verma : Salted Earth
Saying Verma are from Chicago implies that means something. Most people fancing up some narrative which draws logical conclusions like pin marks on a map in a detective story, noting a thread that tie a scene offering up such bands as Big Black & Unwed Sailor in a perversion of twisted thought that only the enlightened protagonist can illuminate. A hackneyed would-be detective-journo conclusion “The next band will sound like this.. because of this….” because of whatever scene, whatever label. It means nothing.
Unless it means nothing to the band. I dunno, frankly it’s redundant.
Which is something that “Salted Earth” is far from. This inspired live performance of experimental/drone/krautrock/*insert other words here* was released in 2010.
