Vetna

“And while it also offers ten sonically engaging tracks, 70% of them extend over the four-minute mark, with one, “Fragmentation,” clocking in at a face-melting 14:39. Yet, very rarely does any of this drag. Percussion and keys are the stars, boasting front-and-center bragging rights on nearly every song. Sure, the guitars (infrequently) rip, but their limited use turns the alt rock moniker on its head. We’re a long way from crunchy angst, ears tuned to the mercury bursting low-end of bass and drums.” Michael E. Vincent / ‘As Lips Run’ (top ten album of the week) on Divide and Conquer (USA) Vetna are a car crash between different genres and eras, in a comfy, compact format for your own post-modern, liquid entertainment. A music collective founded by Lorenzo Chia in Turin in 2019 and based in Bristol since 2021, they propose a bold experimentation that begins with alternative-rock and post-rock from the 90s and 00s (Radiohead, The Dandy Warhols, The Smashing Pumpkins, Verdena, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, La Femme, just to name a few), and mix it with electronic and ambient music from the same years (Four Tet, Boards Of Canada, Crystal Castles, Nicolas Jaar). Everything spiced up with a strong punk attitude and a hot psychedelic vibe. Vetna have released their debut album 'As Lips Run' on 15th October 2021, and they have been performing it live throughout the last two years.
