Paul Mazzoni What a pleasant surprise! I already liked the Static in Verona album from last year, but this one takes it up a notch. I typically don't gravitate to the shoegaze sound, but everything is done so well and the there are some fantastically catchy songs on there like "Then a Hush", "Future Ghosts", and "Shudder to Think", just to name a few. I know this will grow on me with each listen and work it's way into my best of 2015. Yes....that good. Favorite track: Then a Hush.

about

Static in Verona is the work of Chicago musician Rob Merz, which brings electronic and experimental elements into a predominantly indie pop sound. After a stint in other musical projects over many years, this is Merz’s own solo work with every element – writing, performing every instrument and keeping the production in his hands.

After the draining three-year process it took to make Static in Verona’s second album “Everything You Knew Before You Knew Everything,” Merz decided to take a different approach on its follow-up and instead of meticulously writing then recording the music, he started with very loose ideas and then experimented with the structure and instrumentation in the studio. This creative freedom opened the door many new sounds and unexpected twists that may not have happened otherwise. Merz also focused on keeping the collection concise, catchy and upbeat to further engage the listener. The finished product is "Odd Anthem," Static in Verona’s third album.
