Black and Blonde by Veruca Salt (2015)




It's good to see that Nina Gordon and Louise Post were back making music together. While back together now for over two years after fifteen years apart, 2015 marked the first full length release of the re-united band.

Most bands that re-form after fifteen years are just doing so in order to tour, relive the glory days, and make some money. Rarely is there new music recorded. And when there is new music, it is usually uninspired and/or lacking the energy of their younger days.

That's not the case with Veruca Salt's new LP, Ghost Notes. I've listened to this album twice in the last two days, which is a rarity for me. The material here is as good or better than any of their 90's releases. Here is one of my favorite tunes, a re-working of an older Nina Gordon tune:
