Velvet "Romance" | Purple splatter with black smoke 12" - #ALC-137-LP-1

 Velvet – Romance | Purple Splatter with Black Smoke 12" Vinyl
Catalog #: ALC-137-LP-1

“A candlelit dirge for the romantically doomed—Romance is Velvet’s midnight masterpiece.”

Velvet’s Romance isn’t just an album—it’s a velvet curtain drawn between passion and pain, wrapped in deep atmosphere and existential longing. Released by A La Carte Records, this full-length is pressed to stunning purple splatter with black smoke 12" vinyl, a visual echo of its brooding, nocturnal sound.

From the opening track, Velvet sets the mood with cinematic sweep: guitars that glisten like city lights in the rain, drums bursting with representational ache, and vocals delivered in a near-whispered confession. It’s post-punk darkgaze at its most sensual, threaded with the hypnotic weight of coldwave and the introspection of shoegaze.

Tracks like “Skin” pulse with ethereal melancholy, while slower cuts like “Slowdance”let you drown in lush reverb—luxurious, deliberate, and strangely comforting. Velvet is not in pursuit of catharsis; they embrace it, romanticize it, and invite you to do the same.
