9 Good Albums by Black Artists

Lado_C #122

E essa edição de número 122 deste programa chega ao mundo sem nenhuma lógica definida para a escolha das faixas, anarquizando a proposta de fazer podcasts temáticos.

Two Decades in the Making: An Interview With The Veldt 

With the recurrent emergence of 90’s shoegaze bands, The Veldt is a band that stands apart from the pack.

Formed in the late 80’s, The Veldt combined elements of reverb with soul and funk, creating a sonic pathway that was truly their own. They fast gained notoriety working with the likes of Robin Guthrie and playing venues with The Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine.

However, the major record labels at the time attempted to mold them into something easily accessible and mainstream, so The Veldt yet again went their own individual route and self-releasing their 2008 album, White Music for Black People.

Jump forward to 2016, The Veldt have picked up where they left off, creating more luscious soundscapes and have steadily been gaining momentum.

Their upcoming  album, The Shocking Fuzz of Your Electric Fur, will be released via UK label Leonard Skully Records on April 8, 2016, which you can pre-order here.

Guitarist and vocalist Daniel Chavis took some time to answer our questions about the band’s early influences, the pros and cons of DIY culture, and what other plans they have in store for 2016. [Read More]
