Fan of Imagine Dragons? You need to know about this! Brit band, Some Velvet Morning, have just released a bunch of music videos and a vinyl of their hit album, ‘Rough Seas’. With a re-release and videos on top, you can guarantee that this album is of the highest quality. If you missed it first time around, don’t make the same mistake again! With so much to see and enjoy, it would a mistake to let this pass you by.
Kicking ‘Rough Seas’ off in style, is the immense ‘Ghosts’. A song that was given a video upon the re-release, it’s the type of track that builds up a crowd and it’s the perfect start to ‘Rough Seas’ – great lyrics, bellowing backing vocals with fantastic music, it builds up to the second track really well. When the second track, ‘Rough Seas’ does come on, it’s a welcome change in approach as the rip-roaring guitar riffs come in with some powerhouse vocals, demonstrating a versatility that is achieved with ease. The opening tracks create an engaging album that leaves you wondering what direction they’ll go next, but safe in the knowledge that wherever they go it’ll be a fantastic song regardless.
As ‘Rough Seas’ plays, it dawns on you very early on that Some Velvet Morning do not intend on trotting down the beaten path, but rather creating their own unique sound over and over again. Songs such as ‘Magic Places’ and ‘Butterfly’ demonstrate clear differences in approach that is easy to see – the only constant between the two is the quality in which they’re made. Each approach feels like their own, proving to those who weren’t already aware that they’re more than just any other band, they’re a band that everyone should be looking at right now.
Overall, ‘Rough Seas’ is a fantastic album that does not stand in one place for too long. Seamlessly changing styles track after track, the album is proof of their talent and versatility, with a mastery in so many approaches that it would leave even the most seasoned musician feeling impressed and jealous. With quality like this, it was a no-brainer to re-release it and to give fans videos for their most loved tracks.
With no signs of slowing down and with a fan base that will only keep growing, Some Velvet Morning should be on everybody’s radar. Giving us a new vinyl re-release of the album and videos for ‘Ghosts’, ‘After Goodbye’ and ‘Good To See You’, there is plenty to get stuck into straight away. If you missed them on the initial release, now is your chance to make up for it! If you’re a fan of good music, you will not be disappointed.
