Black Surf

out here in the ocean of verst, it’s not always a constant tsunami of sound. sometimes the better angels of our nature—as lincoln called them—rise up from the murky distorted depths with a quieter offering. loaves and fishes, if you will. picture a shimmering school of beached mackerel, gasping for air in the gentle moonlit surf. nearby a loaf of david gates’ bread, fresh off the continental shelf, slowly dissolves in the salinity of divinity.

a new track, then, yes?

and by now, you must be familiar with the refrain: come see verst at the hotel utah this friday night, december 14th. details on the Shows page. advance tickets available here.

The End of Romance

we’re now less than three weeks out from our debut gig at the hotel utah.
you can buy tickets here.

and here’s yet another reason why you don’t want to miss the show…

you can download “the end of romance” right here, too:

Your Kindness

another track from the first verst forthcoming something or other. this one’s called ‘your kindness‘. mix equal parts cross-eyed catchiness and snappy jaggedness with a double portion of negative positivity. bake at 420° for 4:02.

please join the mailing list (form to the right) and come see us at the hotel utah on friday, december 14th. верста!

Seven Halos

as we hurtle toward our first gig in december, we’re going to start releasing some of the other songs we’ve been working on. the inaugural post on our new site (this one!) was a re-release of our initial 3-song EP with newly remixed versions of secrets, colin and hubert. you can grab those on the ‘secrets of me‘ post.

today’s morsel of aural candy is called “seven halos/hovering is for pussies.” dig it. and tell a friend. then come see us at the hotel utah on friday, december 14th.

Secrets of Me

Some of you might have caught these from the old bandcamp page. Well, these are updated versions, so listen and grab em now…
