Reviews and Comments
Fresh off the back of their performance at our stage at The Great Escape, Velvetine have dropped ‘Just This Once’, the latest single taken from their debut EP ‘Wisteria’ (due for release on 10th July). The vocal hook seems to evoke a teenage tension, negotiations with oneself to bare one’s soul, to experiment, to take a risk, “just this once”. The ensuing slamming of drums and the band’s signature enormous guitar sound seems to suggest the emotional enormity of such moments, or perhaps the danger of the reckless behaviour with which the characters experiment. As the song progresses, they reflect that once “wasn’t enough” before the song speeds to a raging climax, guttural bass giving the whole thing an industrial rush like a speeding car after dark before we are left, uncertainly, with the fuzzy dregs of a distorted guitar. (Lloyd Bolton)
