REVIEW: Vanna – And They Came Baring Bones
June 20th, 2011 James Shotwell I’m honestly a bit unnerved by saying this, at the risk of being heckled and berated by angry Bostonians, but And They Came Baring Bones is, by a substantial margin, Vanna’s best offering to date, in any of their various line ups. And once fans hear this album, I doubt anybody will argue with that statement. Albums like The Search Party Never Came and even A New Hope had their iconic songs, but they didn’t feel nearly as complete or dynamically interesting as And They Came Baring Bones, they were lacking a bit of solidarity that is very much present in their new album.
