Veronica Falls reissue debut for 15th anniversary

Veronica Falls will reissue their self-titled debut album on November 27th, 15 years after it first came out. The Bella Union reissue adds a bonus disc of nine recordings from the same era, split across two sides.

Side C gathers five covers: the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb," Slumber Party's "Sooner Or Later," The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band's "Eighteen Is Over the Hill," Eurythmics' "Thorn in My Side," and The Verlaines' "Joed Out." Side D holds four B-sides from the band's vaults, including "Starry Eyes," which came out as the B-side to debut single "Found Love in a Graveyard."

The group put out two records via Bella Union. Veronica Falls said in a statement that 15 years feels "slightly surreal," and that the reissue brings together all the tracks from that period in one place, honoring late member Patrick's legacy. Proceeds from the reissue go to the Los Angeles LGBT center, a charity the band says was dear to him.
