Velvet Davenport continue to tap into your psyche with their newest LP, White Blue. Seven tracks short and just over the 10 minute mark, but with such vividly colorful tracks its brevity goes unnoticed. Limited to and edition of 200 cassettes, this can be bought separately or as a package deal with Moon Glyph’s vinyl compilation, Regolith Vol. 1.

Known mostly for their collection of psyched out cassette tapes, Moon Glyph’s first vinyl offering is a showcase of mind-altering Minneapolis locals. From Vampire Hands to Velvet Davenport this sampler spans from “laid back odes to laid back women” and is a near perfect creation in it’s entirety. These artifacts are available for a pre-order (ltd. to 500 on white vinyl) and can be purchased from the Moon Glyph shop. To give you a taste, here’s a haunting experience from Leisure Birds with, the compilation’s opener, “Burn The Beach”.

Our previously loved psychedelic friends, Velvet Davenport have just sent over their newest slice of 60’s infused pop. On their recent LA vacay they met up with like minded nostalgists Ariel Pink and Gary War, the resulting “Get Out” is an acid flashback into a more liberal state of mind. This will be the a-side b/w of “Run” which is set for release as a 7″ on, the appropriate, Shdwply Records. Also, check out the free downloads that Velvet Davenport has available at their myspace.

The guys in Velvet Davenport take me back to the 60’s (20 years before I was born) in a time when the most psychedelic ride was Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. After releasing Happy Endings (which they’ve put up for free here) the band has been hard a work on a new full length Lemon Drop Square Box soon to be released on Moon Glyph. I’m looking forward to this record, and based on the new songs on their Myspace they’ve only become more like that one scene in Willy Wonka, but in musical terms.
