Waves of Fear

Pissed Jeans - Waves of Fear

Hey, goodbye
So walk with me from night
I don’t like the way you talk to me, girl
You wanna be 
The screen
You sing about me
I don’t rethink
The thoughts you wanna be

And when you walk away
There’s nothing left to sing about me
There’s time to think about the one you love

You wanna be
The screen
You sing about me
I don’t rethink
The thoughts you wanna be
And it’s time to think
There’s nothing left to sing about me
Anyways
Anyways
It’s all mistakes
You feel things
That you said you wanna be
It’s honestly a pain
That you notice now
And it’s not about
It’s all mistakes
You feel things
That you said you wanna be
Anyways
Anyways

The Handsome Family, "My Friend"

With their second album "Waiting For Something to Happen," London quartet Veronica Falls progressed remarkably from the ramshackle charm of their critically lauded eponymous debut to create something sleeker, more polished but no less poignant and affecting, packing an emotional punch even as the choruses and hooks were more infectious and addictive.

Now, following an extensive and well-received US tour, the band are getting ready to release their latest single, which is also the title track of their LP. Given a crisp new mix especially for this single, “Waiting For Something to Happen” is one of the highlights of the album and the band’s live set. Based on a ridiculously catchy main guitar riff and blessed with an ear-worm of a chorus, this tune shows Veronica Falls at their poptastic best.

The single also comes accompanied by a beautiful black and white video by Paul Kelly, noted for his work with Saint Etienne and for his Felt and Dolly Mixture documentaries. Kelly’s video summons to mind Andy Warhol’s poetic screen tests from the 60’s as the camera lingers over the four members of the band – Roxanne Clifford, Patrick Doyle, James Hoare and Marion Herbain.

Rounding out single is a brand new B-Side, “Perpetual Motion,” which was recorded in New York during the band’s recent US tour. A brief but satisfying foray into psychedelia, it shows another side of Veronica Falls and provides further proof that they’re one of the most vital pop groups around.

Slumberland began operations in 1989 as a collective effort consisting of members of DC area bands Velocity Girl, Big Jesus Trash Can/Whorl, Black Tambourine and Powderburns. We were inspired by such musical happenings as C86, early Creation, Postcard, K, Bus Stop, lower East Side noise, and also the renegade art aesthetics & methods of people like Cage, Burroughs and Duchamp. The explosion of punk had left behind a thriving network of 'zines, labels and distributors and we felt that there was room for our noise-loving, pop-obsessed aesthetic. While there were loads of US indie labels releasing a steady stream of 7"s, there wasn't much pop going on. Notable exceptions included Bus Stop, K and Picture Book, and we hoped to join that group and help chisel out some space for melodies amongst the noise.

Early releases from Velocity Girl, Whorl and Black Tambourine struck a note, and we found like-minded popsters getting in touch from all over the world. As we expanded the label roster and our own horizons, the goal was always to share great songs and interesting sounds from a range of styles. Our first burst of activity through the 1990s and early 2000s brought seminal records by legendary bands like Stereolab, Rocketship, The Ropers, Lorelei, The Aislers Set, Hood and Boyracer.

By the mid 2000s we were seeing a resurgence of interest in guitar pop and the start of the ongoing vinyl revival: the perfect environment for Slumberland! We launched into our latest phase of activity with as string of classic releases from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose, Veronica Falls, Allo Darlin', Joanna Gruesome and so many more.

2025 is our thirty-sixth (!) year we are still at it, ploughing our own furrow and bringing you unique, genre-defining (and genre-defying!) releases from bands like The Laughing Chimes, Humdrum, The Cords, Autocamper, Jeanines, The Umbrellas, Neutrals, Artsick, Kids On A Crime Spree, Papercuts, Lightheaded, Tony Jay, Chime School, Lunchbox and many, many more. Indie fashions come and go but we're still thrilled by great songs and the new ways that pop can be rejuvenated to fit the times.
