Velvet Davenport


Yeah, it's not exactly original, and it's totally stylized in a retro sort of way, and it sounds a lot like a bunch of other stuff, but perhaps that is why I find it so enjoyable to listen to.  I hear (fill in your favorite psych pop band from the later mid-sixties) +more. The production is lovely, and the use of synthesizers spices up the otherwise standard guitar, bass, minimal use of percussion (bass drum, tambourine, bells, occasional snare, and sometimes just sticks hitting something).  It is delightful.

There are only six very short easily digestible tracks on the recording, the shortest being 14 seconds and the longest being three minutes.  You should try it.  Good bye.

I think these guys might be from Minneapolis; some of my young hep friends were talking about them. Tasty.
