I had a simple but increasingly regular introduction to the band I'm blogging about today, a twitter follow, Velveteens are from Connecticut and are led by classically trained sisters' Anna and Catherine Wolk, with Devon Fontaine providing the electronic beats and guitar on a couple of lo-fi bedroom demos which serve as my introduction to the band (they are available to stream below or download on a pay what you like basis from bandcamp)...
"I Don't Even Know", with haunting string plucks and electronic machine beats wrapped up in smooth, warm vocals is pretty difficult to pigeonhole to a genre, minimalistic and nostalgic pop will do for now, "Do You Remember?" whilst still obviously a rough demo offers a more expansive spectrum of sounds, dominating drums, glistening synth and strings that sound like they could be from Planningtorock, all-in-all, two completely gorgeous tracks that for now at least, we'll have to imagine how good they'll sound coming out of a proper recording studio.
