CATCH VERMA ON TOUR THIS MAY
Chicago’s own psychedelic explorers, Verma, return with Sunrunner, their tightest suite of tunes to date and first proper full-length offering since the band’s self-released Exu album. Sunrunner finds the band veering back towards more cosmic (or ‘kosmiche’), song-oriented compositions without sacrificing their sharply-honed talents for improvisation in the studio. The album flows over the listener brilliantly, a true testament to the musical synergy and talents of the band who form an almost symbiotic relationship in the live setting capturing and documenting their psychic bond on this new record. The swirling, layered loops of Johnny Caluya‘s guitar mesh seamlessly with the interstellar drones and throbs ebbing from vocalistWhitney Johnson‘s Acetone, but the real secret weapon of Sunrunner lies in the rhythm section of bassistRob Goerke and drummer Zach Corn. Their locked-tight grooves pulse steadily and subtly like all great rhythm sections are supposed to, providing a rubbery backbone that supports the album’s seven tunes.
