“Our previously loved psychedelic friends, Velvet Davenport have just sent over their newest slice of 60’s infused pop. On their recent LA vacay they met up with like minded nostalgists Ariel Pink and Gary War, the resulting “Get Out” is an acid flashback into a more liberal state of mind. This will be the a-side b/w of “Run” which is set for release as a 7″ on, the appropriate, Shdwply Records. Also, check out the free downloads that Velvet Davenport has available at their myspace…”

Columboid “Cruise On Your Own”

December 26th, 2009

Columboid is an entity out of Brooklyn, NY which features past/present members of Coyote, Man Man, Vaz, Lewis and Clarke and Icy Demons. This is one of Shdwply’s newest releases, with only 100 copies on cassette to be made.

” ….”Cruise on Your Own” wastes no time getting into the good stuff, as the first song “Statehoarders” is a hauntingly warped take on Neil Young that you can somehow almost dance to. The cassette proceeds on only to chug out jam after jam of jaded sonics and tribal get-downs that are all bridged together quite brilliantly.

Their is something inherently primitive about this album, as the often prominent synths seem to evoke feelings from deep within. Thoughts of cavemen dance parties are common, as the sonically stimulating themes fade in and out with tons of passion. It’s almost as if Columboid aims to start a rave at some sort of creepy sacrificial ritual. And if that was their goal, I’d sure as hell be in attendance at such a warped affair.

This is by far one of the more interesting releases to grace my inbox as of late, and I look forward to more good thing’s to come from the this Brooklyn duo. Hopefully we can bring them to Baltimore sometime soon, but in the meantime, grab this tape.”
