Album Review: Veruca Salt - Ghost Notes

8 July 2015 | 9:58 am | Pete Laurie

"Proving age and time don’t have to slow a band down, or soften the edges that made them standout."

More Veruca Salt More Veruca Salt

Another day, another ‘90s alternative band reunion album.

It’s almost a decade since Veruca Salt’s last long-player and over two since their breakout, American Thighs, but Ghost Notes sounds as fresh and energised as anything from their Seether days. The combination of Nina Gordon and Louise Post’s angelic voices over fuzzed guitars is as potent as ever and they can still write a killer riff. More than nostalgia, Ghost Notes is Veruca Salt proving age and time don’t have to slow a band down, or soften the edges that made them standout all those years ago.
