Have you heard of the band The Velvet Sundown?
They’re blowing up right now, racking up more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify – which is pretty good going for a group that formed less than two months ago.
What’s also impressive is that the prolific four-piece psych-rock outfit have already released two albums on their “Verified Artist” profile: ‘Floating On Echoes’ and ‘Dust And Silence’, which were dropped on 5 and 20 June respectively.
There are no signs of slowing down, as their new collection of “cinematic alt-pop and dreamy analogue soul” is out soon, with their third opus titled ‘Paper Sun Rebellion’ coming out on 14 July.
Vocalist and “mellotron sorcerer” Gabe Farrow, guitarist Lennie West, “bassist-synth alchemist” Milo Rains and “free-spirited percussionist” Orion ‘Rio’ Del Mar must be thrilled with their sudden rise in popularity.
At least they would be… if they were capable of human emotion.
Yep, The Velvet Sundown don’t exist. Not really.
