Electric Revolution (Rhythm and Drone) EP

by The Veldt

supported by

Anthony Childs Bigger sound, tighter focus, better production, more varied compositional choices and all without losing the core of what kept them setting their own trends in the first place. This is no new lease, they are positively owning it. Favorite track: Red Flagz.

Sean O'Brien This record is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you

about

Amidst the COVID mind fields and race riots and slaughter of the last two years, twin brothers Danny and Daniel Chavis and Hayato Nakao as the Veldt issue a play by play on life and the self analyzation of the self as well as their souls on their sleeves for the sonic onslaught of The "Electric Revolution EP”. Rhythm and Drone as one might put in as "Day Nigere" so to speak.... being the premature love child of the up coming full length appropriately titled “Entropy Is The Mainline To God” brought to you by those fine proprietors of psych and all that is on the boundary of essence, Little Cloud Records. The fine purveyors of bands like New Candys and Magic Shoppe. Also included is a soulgaze version of "Getaway" by MOBB DEEP.

Friends Martin Newman and original bassist Alex Cox join in on guitar and bass. While James Scott (Populist Recording) and Dan Milligan (The Joy Thieves) joined in to save the day with some final production, drumming and mastering. Last but not least, topping everything off is a special track “I Told The Stars About You” produced by Carlos Bess (C12) of Wu-tang Clan (Wu-tang Forever).

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
