On “Miss My Gun,” their brand new EP for Sacred Bones Records, Vermillion Sands play dark, jangly rock with a distinct Wild West edge. But have no fear: after one listen you’ll realize there’s nothing hokey or trite about the Treviso, Italy-based group’s sound. In fact, they’re more than capable of sexy, sneering, ultra-catchy tunes and badass blues riffing. And all of it's topped off with oft-overdriven, totally spot-on female vocals.
LINER NOTES: The second installment in the Sacred Bones 12" EP series comes from Treviso, Italy's Vermillion Sands who sound like they could be the house band at the dystopian oceanside resort that features prominently in the JG Ballard short story collection from which the group takes their name. The Vermillion Sands' ramshackle female fronted country tinged garage rock gives off some serious Mekons-meets-Headcoatees vibes or a femme fronted counterpart to the records Dan Melchoir has been pumping out as of late. Reverbed whips and twangs and a little mouth harp underlie some serious hooks and melodies. Look out for the debut full length out soon of Fat Possum.
