| Description Coming on like an ambient electronic band, but liable to break into a propulsive, abrasive rush at any time, Le Verita is a sonic dream of what New Wave could have been. If Ian Curtis hadn’t died, if people had taken Gang of Four and Wall of Voodoo seriously, if Urgh! A Music War had been the soundtrack for post-punk instead of that New Romantic crap. The duo’s Iron Ghosts EP starts out sparsely, with a few well-chosen words in the haunting “Zelda,” and spirals all the way through the lush, sweeping “Winter’s View.” Trendy bands trying to be retro-‘80s could learn a lot from Le Verita about what actually made that decade’s music good. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com |
