vermont

Chaos and melody

About Me

Vermont hail from – and are currently based in – both London and Dresden. Formed in London by singer Sabine Zeissig and co-vocalist and guitarist Colin Murphy, the group has released a small run of two LPs (2003’s Ins Kino and 2004’s Ten Random).Murphy and Zeissig have now relocated to her native Dresden, adding a trio of like-minded locals to the Vermont family – while keyboard player Adey still lives in London.Vermont have forged a reputation for live performances that are wired, bordering on the chaotic, without losing the melodic heart of the band or over-shadowing the sweet, evocative quality of Sabine’s vocal and lyrical style. This reputation was enhanced during a 15-date UK and German tour with New York garage-y anti-folk duo, Schwervon!.The Vermont sound is inspired by the off-kilter pop of early Talking Heads, the Sugarcubes or the Breeders, as well as the guitar noise of Sonic Youth and the Wedding Present.
