Psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins have found away to mix The Kinks with The Everly Brothers by way of early Bowie and Marc Bolan. Their new EP A Hot Second With The Velveteins barrels through six sunny side up sounding tunes about heartbreak. This is the kind of album that should be released on three 7 inches to accommodate a meticulously restored jukebox.
Spencer Morphy (vocals, guitar), Addison Hiller (percussion) and Dean Kheroufi (bass) are a musical time travellers, who have captured the vibe of the late Fifties/early Sixties not so much as a nostalgia act, but as true fans of a bygone era.
A Hot Second With The Velveteins will be released thru Fierce Panda Canada. Release date: May 27th.
