To Cross Or to Burn – Venamoris [VINYL]

Taking their name from the Latin vena amoris (‘the vein of love’, purported to run from the left-hand ring finger to the heart), Venamoris’ first public recording was ‘The Gift’, a Christmas song the Lombardos posted to Bandcamp. Not long afterward, their 2023 debut album, ‘Drown In Emotion’, was released. Paula’s singer-songwriter vibe felt like it was plucked from the FM dial in 1975 between deep cuts from Carole King’s Tapestry and Heart’s Dog and Butterfly.
