9-volt velvet - Mirrors (2022)

The American band 9-volt velvet decided to end their career break back in 2019 and came back to making music with this year's EP called  Cathedrals. The members of such projects as The Northern Lights and Viva Voce, don't waste time for adaptation and already showed their second EP recently.

Mirrors is a symphony of very oldschool-feeling shoegaze music. This tribute to the 90s psychedelic music charms the audience with the barely tamed noise that consolidates chaotic but very engaging melodies. The compositions are traditionally calmer where the soft and dispersed vocals are required to get to the listener, and very harsh when it's time for the deafening noise. Their recipe for the most psychedelic music is clear: "washed out fuzzy guitars, hypnotic circular bass lines, pounding beats, and whispery, haunting vocals" - this mix feels lo-fi dirty but that's the point: the noise can never be 100% tamed. And it's fantastic news.

Mirrors costs 7 USD.
