The Velvet Teen - No Star & Cum Laude


The Velvet Teen are an alt indie group with some rocking gutairs. Most interesting and delighting to me is their drummer Casey (one of my favorites) also drums for The America's
(click the link to time travel)

This group is something of a shape shifter and can sound pretty radically different depending on where you catch them. The No Star EP is a pretty guitar heavy album which is why its one of my fav's.  Also of note is their album Cum Laude which is just straight awesome sauce and has some nasty keyboardage. It's a must have so please Seek and Destroy

Cum Laude

  2. Not really feeling Cum Laude just because of the production aesthetic with the vocal distortion on every track. Checked out the first few tracks of Elysium though, and that's awesome stuff.
