Shades (INDIE EXCLUSIVE, WHITE VINYL) [Vinyl]

In August 2018, Vera Sola, the American/Canadian poet, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist released the first single from her now, critically acclaimed debut album ‘Shades’. Though alternately cast as the ‘lost love child of Leonard Cohen and Nancy Sinatra,’ ‘Nick Cave in the role of Staggolee,’ ‘Patsy Cline fronting a minimalist Warpaint’ and ‘PJ Harvey at her most irate, teeth-bared,’ she’s still very much ‘an utterly singular talent.’ The entirety of ‘Shades’ was written, recorded, arranged and produced by the artist.To celebrate the first year of Vera Sola, Spectraphonic Records are issuing a Limited Edition White Vinyl LP available only to indie stores.
