Velvet Holmes: s/t tape

Velvet Holmes: s/t tape

The only info I can find out about this tape is on some Twitter, saying that this tape was released at some house show back in February (and a radio playlist from a station in Wisconsin who played the tape back in March). I have no clue who Velvet Holmes or Tree Tapes are. And of course there’s no tracklist or any info at all on this tape. Popping it in the deck, you start to hear some squirmy slow synth snake sounds. Then after this fades out, there’s some bass widdling and an awkwardly spare kick drum. Side B starts with more squirming, buzzing evil synths. Then it turns into a repetitive, shaky loop, which gradually gets filtered, sometimes more distorted, sometimes more trebly. It’s a bit like being repeatedly bludgeoned by a thin, vibrating sheet of metal.
