New Single ‘Marta’ Out / 21.06.24 “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 and based in Bristol since 2020. This act proposes a bold experimentation, beginning with alternative rock and post-rock, with an unmistakable 90s and 00s imprint (Radiohead, The Dandy Warhols, The Smashing Pumpkins, Verdena, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, La Femme, just to name a few), and mixing it with a powerful electronic outfit (Four Tet, Boards Of Canada, Crystal Castles, Nicolas Jaar). Everything spiced up with punk attitude and a hot psychedelic vibe. |

Vetna released their first album ‘As Lips Run’ at the end of 2021. They have now just finished to work on new material, and are planning to release a new single ‘Marta’ on the 21st June. They have also been touring tirelessly for the last year and a half around the South of England, and have updated their line-up with a new key member on drums, Lyndon, who is contributing to enrich the already riveting wall of sound the band recreates live every time. |
