MUSIC NEWS: Velvet Bloom National Album Tour + Upcoming Album

 

Soul pop outfit Velvet Bloom's self-titled debut album is out Friday 28 March 
+ National Tour dates announced for May, June and July!

Gearing up for their debut album release, Velvet Bloom is announcing a tour across Australia, including dates in Tasmania, Western Australia, Northern Territory, and more, with dates along the east coast and a Melbourne headline album launch at the Northcote Social Club. Fresh off the back of signing with Yama-Nui Records for the album release, and their performance at St Kilda Festival and winning the new music stage competition, the band are ready to invite audiences old and new to experience their new world of Velvet Bloom.

Velvet Bloom's music transcends genres, a sonic voyage through the cosmos with Maddy Herbert’s soulful prowess and lyricism serving as a beacon of authenticity, with each band member and musician adding their own flair to the group's project and kaleidoscopic soundscape. Working closely with Alex Marko on production to set the scene for each story, there is something on the record for old fans and new, from the collective band favourite and single ‘My Love’, to moments for the old fans with the easter eggs in ‘Nobody Else’ and folky reflection in ‘Realign’, and an instrumental reflective ‘Prelude’. Finding strength in raw and unfiltered tracks like ‘Best In You’ and ‘How Could I Ever’, the material doesn’t shy away from dark and painful moments like ‘She’s Gone’, and revels in the power found within music in single ‘Silver Tongue’, latest single ‘Time’, and ‘Only You’. The album's closing track features a celebration of their friends and family who were invited to come and sing on the track. "The support of our friends and family is why we feel able to continue writing, releasing and performing in the way that we do. We love our people so much and wanted to include them in this creation, ‘I’ll Love You Tomorrow’ was the perfect way to do that." Maddy Herbert, Velvet Bloom

Velvet Bloom’s debut EP Glimmer served as a catalyst for their rise, released through independent label Cousin Will Records (The Grogans), and saw them tour nationally across Australia, and taking the stage at esteemed venues including Lazy Bones, The Night Cat, The NGVLoch Hart Music Festival, MONA, St Kilda Festival, Mordi Fest and many more. Their music continues making waves, with tracks added to Spotify Editorial playlists including The Local List, Soulful Day, and Fresh Finds, and appearing on ABC’s Spicks and Specks, their unique blend of soul, pop, jazz, and indie-rock capturing hearts across community radio Triple RPBS FM4ZZZEdge Radio2SERRTR FM, alongside Triple JABC, and more. 

With a date in every state across Australia, don’t miss your opportunity to see Velvet Bloom on their debut album tour!
