about

"In the midst of all the fuss directed at Area 51 - the top secret military installment a the heart of the US's foremost UFO conspiracy theory - its sister site Area 52 remains in relative obscurity. On her latest self-released digital album, West Coast weirdmaker Veronica Avola imagines the experimental weapons facility as an intergalactic soiree where wide-eyed aliens shake their little grey booties while the stars dance over the desert and nuclear rockets shoot rainbow goo. Several years ago, former CIA pilot and conspiracy theorist John Lear claimed that Area 52 was covered with secret runways hidden in the desert floor that could only be accessed through portals that open and close like giant zippers. It would come as no shock to learn that these portals were somehow triggered by Avola's synths." - Emily Pothast, Wire Magazine, November 2019

Love Across Light Years

A little shameless self promotion -- this is my other musical endeavor - Elrond. It is me and my partner in everything playing with all of our synthesizers. It is very fun. Very fun indeed. Avola

This band rules! Their music is really tight, psyche, plenty of great ideas, and their live set is awesome I need to listen to this album by reading Tolkien’s Lord of the rings, and i feel like a peaceful knight in armour / « amour » ! XO LOVATARAXX
