Velveteen are from London and they have been releasing their music for some time now (Rate Your Music says it's been 10 years, but I'm not sure it's true), but this is, as far as I know, their first LP. And Empty Crush is a perfectly nostalgic piece of noisy compositions that gave me this "I was born in a wrong generation" kind of feeling.
They describe their music as "a sound that's as much a love letter to their inspirations as it is their own" with said inspiration taken from shoegaze, post-punk, dream pop and noise rock. The first track of the album clearly confirms it with the particularly noisy guitars leading the first notes of the release. When they make way to the dispersed vocals, the sound is almost a perfect homage to the shoegaze legends from the 90s, especially My Bloody Valentine (for the guitars) and RIDE (vocals). The nostalgia for those times and the way it inspired the new band is clearly the strongest aspect of the album. Tracks like Entwined and Sunborn perfectly show this and it's barely comprehensible that they were not, in fact, released 30 years ago.
