Sound & Artwork

Sound& Artwork

Velvet Current sounds like a warm room at 1am: round bass, dry drums with plenty of air, guitar that smears into colour and a voice cutting straight through. The artwork tries to look the way that feels.

What's in the mix

Four ingredients,no recipe

  • 01

    Bass that walks

    Juno's lines are melodic and patient — the part you hum on the way home.

  • 02

    Drums that breathe

    Kit plays just behind the beat, leaves holes and lets the room fill them.

  • 03

    Guitar that drifts

    Rafe's tone runs through tape echo and phaser: chords that melt into texture.

  • 04

    A voice that leads

    Odalys sings like she's talking to one person at the back. Then she gets them to sing back.

Artwork-led concept. Velvet Current is presented visually here — there's no audio on this site, so nothing will ever play unexpectedly.

Concept record artwork

Threesleeves

Each sleeve takes one idea from the band's sound and prints it loud: the radiating groove, the slow tide, the sliced-up night. Switch with buttons, arrow keys, swipe or drag.

Sleeve I, Find Your Frequency: acid-yellow cover with concentric aubergine grooves around a halftone group portrait and an oversized condensed title.
