Veronica Falls' debut album gets a special 15th-anniversary edition

Veronica Falls, the band that in the late 2000s and early 2010s treated us to catchy songs like "Found Love in a Graveyard," "Teenage," "Beachy Head," "Bad Feeling," "Come On Over," and "If You Still Want Me," has announced a deluxe reissue of their debut album self-titled to celebrate its 15th anniversary.

The special edition of the album Veronica Falls is scheduled for release on November 27 via Bella Union and Slumberland. The vinyl reissue includes a bonus disc featuring nine recordings from the same period. Side C features five cover songs: "Under My Thumb" (Rolling Stones), "Sooner Or Later" (Slumber Party), “Eighteen Is Over the Hill” (The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band), “Thorn in My Side” (Eurythmics), and “Joed Out” (The Verlaines). Side D, meanwhile, brings together four B-sides from their early singles, rounding out the collection of the group’s early work.
