The Veldt

The Veldt (Raleigh, NC)

https://theveldtmusic.bandcamp.com/

Under the leadership of Black identical twins Daniel and Danny Chavis, THE VELDT was present for the first wave of shoegaze/dream-pop. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they toured with the Cocteau Twins, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Echo & the Bunnymen, and released several classic albums on a smattering of major and indie labels. The Veldt's sound and image is equal parts shoegaze and soul, and their body of work has stood the test of time, influencing artists as diverse as TV on the Radio, the Weeknd, and Bartees Strange. Since releasing 2022's Entropy Is the Mainline to God, their first full-length album in 24 years, the Veldt has embarked on multiple successful national tours; regained ownership of their masters; and started their own label (5BC) to release archival material - most recently Illuminated 1989, the debut album they recorded with the Cocteaus' Robin Guthrie in 1988.
