Enigmatic art-rock group Velvoir return with their explosive single: 'Jackboot'
The track opens with a frenzy of pulsing bass and aggressive guitar before welcoming front woman Verity Jasmine Bee's gritty, alluring vocals.
The single has a more of a rock edge than their previous tracks, with a bigger focus on the raw, ferocious energy that makes their live sets so compelling.
However, like their previous releases the lyrics are evocative and thought-provoking, resonating with an intense, twisted sermon-esque vibe.
As the track concludes, Bee channels her usual theatrical flair through a belligerent belting verse before erupting into a banshee-like scream. This is reinforced by an uninhibited wave of ebullient bass, herculean guitar and punchy percussion, emitting a colossal sound.
It's a track that is easy to envisage in a live setting - it radiates with a nuclear buzz. Although their recorded material is great, Velvoir are a group that you have to experience live, as their stage presence is simply unrivaled.
Vevloir have a very special place in my heart - they were one of the first bands I reviewed when I started SOAE back in 2015 and their raunchy, bizarre performance completely blew my mind.
That review earned me a spot on the NE Volume team, which allowed me to be published in print for the first time and they also headlined the last ever gig I put on with NOUVEAU Events.
So needless to say, it gives me immense pleasure to see how the band as evolved and whilst maintaining their beautifully Delphic roots.
