Velour Afternoon watch with an observant eye on their latest EP, 1001 Dreams and No Sleep. Their shared discontent with our city’s economic imbalance is less a source of inspiration and more so an inherent element of their everyday lives. But the quartet communicates their message with recondite imagery, as they handle their intricate psychedelic arrangements with flawless precision. It’s a thoughtful listen which borrows the essence of garage rock, but with a darker and more esoteric sound, where they conjure a tone so mysterious that it’s hard to shake.
