The Velveteers announce debut album ‘Nightmare Daydream’
THE VELVETEERS have announced their debut album!
Titled Nightmare Daydream, the upcoming album from the Colorado-based rock band is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Easy Eye Sound.
“I instantly dug them,” says Dan Auerbach, who produced the record. “They’re amazing live, and their videos are so creative. And they just sound so powerful. Any time you doubletrack drums on a record, it’s going to sound so heavy. Then you put that together with this baritone guitar player who is so unique, and it’s so bombastic. There’s nothing like them.”
The upcoming debut album intends to strip down rock and roll to its most primal elements; the riff, the rhythm, the snarl, and rebuilding it in their own image. “We don’t want to sound like a band from a different time,” says vocalist/guitarist Demi Demitro. “We want to sound like a band that’s right here right now: in this very moment.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Charmer And The Snake. Demitro recalls writing the song with Auerbach and recording it in the first few takes: “It was sort of a synergy moment where we all got in the room together and just started playing.” Drummer Baby Pottersmith adds, “it’s about certain types of older guys in music scenes who think they are charming and all that but are just lizards trying to take advantage of you. They think they can manipulate you to get what they want by saying a bunch of nonsense but all the while you are aware of their true intentions and just watch as they talk themselves deep into a ditch of delusions.”
