Introducing You to Velcro!
When we hung out with Twerps the other night, their bosses so to speak, Chapter Music, suggested we get to familiarize ourselves with Velcro, the next big thing to come out of Australia. The Melbourne group has released two EPs already this year, with my favorite being the first, Highest View. There’s elements of bedroom electronic pop that they experiment with (fleshed out on their later EP Inadequate Lover) on the track featured below, but I like the innocence the song takes on in its simplicity; it gives you that endearing emotional appeal that a lot of bands seem to short for nowadays. The rest of their brief catalogue sounds a bit like a Calvin Johnson meeting Diamond Rings in a sunny place. Familiarize yourself with the band by checking out their BANDCAMP page (free EPs!!!), and then keep an eye out for more great things from the group.
