Veldt
(splatter) Entropy Is The Mainline To God
Limited to 175 copies on clear with silver splatter vinyl. Only a handful available, so be fast! Performing since they
were children, the Chavis brothers' musical roots lead back to the church and southern juke-joints, and listening to
music that included gospel, Motown and Pink Floyd. The Veldt formed in the late '80s in Raleigh amongst the legendary
North Carolina music scene of the time, initially signing with Mammoth Records - leading to a chain of major-label
relationships (and major-label failures) that took the group across Europe and the U.S. playing shows with the likes of
Throwing Muses, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, and Jesus & Mary Chain. The major labels' dependence on shake-and-bake musical
formulas left the band to work with a variety of indie labels after the release of their 1994 LP 'Afrodisiac,' cited by
Pitchfork as one of the top 50 shoegaze albums of all-time. After the release of 1998's 'Love At First Hate,' the band's
last full-length album, The Veldt briefly changed their name to Apollo Heights and released the album 'White Music For
Black People.' After a brief hiatus, the band returned under their original moniker with the 'The Shocking Fuzz Of Your
Electric Fur - The Drake Equation' EP, and have been steadily releasing singles and EP's since. With a headlining tour
beginning in August 2022, and the release of the full-length 'Entropy Is The Mainline To God,' (via Little Cloud
Records/The Acid Test Recordings/5BC) The Veldt is demonstrating that they have no intention of slowing down.
