Feb 1, 2024The record holds a conciliatory anger at a civilisation that can’t save itself from itself. And through an exploration of war, bloodspill, loss and confusion Vera Sola has continued to tell her story, and invite us into her arresting world.
-
Feb 5, 2024Peacemaker balances its polished Nashville musicianship with uncanny textures, resulting in a record so atmospheric you’d swear you could hear the rustle of her white prairie dress in the breeze.
-
MojoFeb 1, 2024There's a full band, a string section Swarmatron and brass. Reassuringly, the songs are strong enough to carry the new load. [Mar 2024, p.85]

Feb 2, 2024Sola concludes Peacemaker much as she launches it, striking a sublime balance between pop know-how and theatrical flair.

Feb 2, 2024Vera Sola's blurring of past and present sounds especially apt to the early 2020s here, but more often, Peacemaker's dreamlike world has a timeless appeal that fans of Calexico, Timber Timbre, and Marissa Nadler will love.

UncutFeb 1, 2024Sola can be detached but is at her best when she leans into the songs. [Feb 2024, p.35]
