Canadian psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins have made a video for Midnight Surf, the second single from their forthcoming debut full-length Slow Wave. The clip was directed by Nicholas Posthumus, who captured the band messing around at home, on the road driving a - cliché alert - Volkswagen Transporter, and staring a the sea.

Canadian psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins have released video for Midnight Surf, another single from their forthcoming debut full-length Slow Wave. It's an ode to sleep, dreams and letting go. Nice touch to have crashing cymbals emulating the waves of the ocean.

The Velveteins: Don't Yah Feel Better?

Canadian psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins have released Don't Yah Feel Better?, the lead single from their forthcoming debut full-length Slow Wave. They have gone South for this tune, with a bit of tex-mex lead guitar. Cheerful and sad simultaneously - shit happens, but in the end everything will be OK.

The Velveteins: "Hanging From The Ceiling" video

Canadian psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins already released a video which captured them playing Hanging From The Ceiling live for a Southern Souls session. Now they have a real promo clip, directed by Nicholas Posthumus. Lead singer Spencer Morphy is floating on an air mattress in a swimming pool, smoking. So is all the stuff that acted out really happening or is just a chemically enhanced dream?

The Velveteins: A Hot Second With The Velveteins

Canadian psychedelic doo-wop rock trio The Velveteins have found away to mix The Kinks with The Everly Brothers by way of early Bowie and Marc Bolan. Their new EP A Hot Second With The Velveteins barrels through six sunny side up sounding tunes about heartbreak. This is the kind of album that should be released on three 7 inches to accommodate a meticulously restored jukebox.

Spencer Morphy (vocals, guitar), Addison Hiller (percussion) and Dean Kheroufi (bass) are a musical time travellers, who have captured the vibe of the late Fifties/early Sixties not so much as a nostalgia act, but as true fans of a bygone era.
