Introducing Verandan. Listen to 'Gold in the Hills'
Soliti is thrilled to welcome Verandan to the label family.
Verandan is a new project by Ville Hopponen (some of you may know Ville from Cats on Fire and latterly The New Tigers). Aided and abetting Ville on his new adventure are the magnificent players Aleksi Peltonen (Puunhalaaja) Aki Pohjankyrö (Black Twig; LOVE SPORT), Kaarlo Stauffer (Black Twig) and Sampo Seppänen (Sofa Pets, Kynnet). Verandan were formed in late 2015 around songs written by Hopponen.
'Gold in the Hills' is the first single from an EP to be released this coming Autumn.
"It is a story about unspecific expectations of splendor that start to evaporate, and about trying to escape conventions while at the most raising a few eyebrows. Or as Bill Clinton said in the Simpsons: "Just keep complaining until your dreams come true”."
'Gold in the Hills' is available digitally from 26th June.
