The Veldt to tour East Coast with Seefeel, more dates with Swervedriver, Y33BA. Watch their Oak City Session

Shoegaze alt-soul pioneers The Veldt announce East Coast tour with Seefeel,
other dates with Swervedriver and Y33BA. Watch their Oak City Session 2019.

The Veldt is identical twins Daniel Chavis (vocals, guitar) and Danny Chavis (guitar), along with Hayato Nakao (bass), Marvin Levi (drums) and Alex Cox (guitar). Together they produce a heady and sensual blend of shoegaze and progressive soul, dreamy soundscapes and infectious grooves.

The Veldt will be touring in support of their latest EP ‘Thanks to the Moth and Areanna Rose’ and also preview some new material. Their latest video ‘Black and Blue’ features footage by Yuko Sueta, the late wife of Veldt guitarist Danny Chavis. More recently, the band filmed a live Oak City Session 2019 with the City of Raleigh.

The new EP features contributions from two 4AD music legends of the dreampop and shoegaze world (a remix by A.R.Kane and production by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins). The Bandcamp version of the EP also features two legends of the trip-hop and rap/trap world (‘Dakini’ was remixed by Jason Furlow, a.k.a. Nosaj of New Kingdom and Carlos Bess of the Wutang production team).

The Veldt’s sound has accommodated the influence of musical kin Cocteau Twins as readily as it did Marvin Gaye and free jazz warriors Sun Ra and Pharaoh Sanders. These trailblazers reference European post-punk while embracing modern hip-hop, and working with transient dreamscapes as fluidly as solid song structures.

Remixing – Rudy Tambala/A.R.Kane (Track 6), Jason Furlow and Carlos Bess (Track 5)
Mastering – Alexander Kretov at Ummagma Studio
