The Vernes have released their debut studio album ‘Maybe I’ll Feel Better When I’m Dead’. You can take a listen to the album via Spotify below or order it via TheVernes.com.
The album was recorded and produced by Joe Michelini (American Trappist, River City Extension), following the band’s informal 2017 full-length effort, a self-titled collection of homemade EPs and singles. The Vernes have built up a growing east coast fanbase with an off the cuff style echoing Pavement, and their live show has been hailed by WXPN’s The Key as “not to be missed,” who also compare them to “Dr. Dog in the early days.”
Conceived in the San Francisco Bay Area and realized in Philadelphia, indie rockers The Vernes are “part of the welcomed migration of talented, young artists continuing to flow into our City of Brotherly Love.” Their songs are often happy in tone though somber in content, combining singer/guitarist Matthew Gragg’s unique vocal style and introspective lyrics with touches of fuzz guitar, synth, and drum machines. The four-piece, also consisting of Fabian Mera, Cole Berggren, and Pat Degan, offer a contrast between tightly produced recordings and dynamic live performances.
