Loud Velvet
Dear all,
which is now the most famous duo in the musical scene? I’m sure most of you are thinking about White Stripes or about Fiery Furnaces... it depends on what you prefer between rock and pop (if you’re Italian maybe you can think about Bud Spencer Blues Explosion too).
And if I say ‘Velvet’ what do you think about? This time I’ve no doubt that the winner is Velvet Undergound.
In this blog we’re not going to speak about these (interesting) bands, but about an Italian-French duo, called Red Velvet, that, with its namesake debut album has been able to astonish us.
David and Reeks show a dark attitude to indie music and a great ability to mix a lot of different sounds and smooth contrasts.
In ‘Prayer’ post rock and psychedelic music live together in a long awesome song, while ‘Blood’ is a great sweet ballad that you would never stop to listen to.
Italy meets France and it’s not a football match like you could believe, but a wonderful musical mix, some order in sonic chaos.
Cheers
Jacopo Ravagnan
