Velvet are a shoegaze band from Brooklyn, New York, built around Zack Alfasi and Byron Rodriguez, who have been writing together since 2017. The band’s heavy, fuzzed-out guitars leave plenty of room for melody, somewhere between the weight of Nothing and the softer side of Slowdive. Velvet released their debut LP Romance in 2024. Their second LP, Life Living, is due February 5, 2027 via à La Carte Records.
RIYL: Nothing, Slowdive, Trauma Ray, Glare, Downward, Starflyer 59
Brooklyn grungegaze band Velvet have announced their second LP, Life Living, out February 5, 2027 via à La Carte Records. The ten-song follow-up to Romance pairs thick, fuzzed-out guitars with the softer melodies that run through their debut.
Lead single “Circles” is streaming now. It’s under three minutes of dreamy shoegaze with a wall of guitars and a dark melody running through it. If Nothing, Starflyer 59, and Slowdive are in your rotation, or you’ve been digging newer bands like Downward, trauma ray, and Glare, put this record on your radar for early 2027.
