The band
Four friends, one tape machine.
Velvet Static started as late-night demos passed around on a single cassette. Five years and a hundred shows later, they're still chasing the same feeling — the warmth right after the lights go down.
'Afterglow' is their most intimate record yet: analog, unhurried, and recorded almost entirely live to tape at Hightide Sound.

One of the tightest live sets I've seen all year — sweaty, loud, unforgettable.

Saw them at Commonwealth and immediately bought the vinyl. Hooked.
