The Blue Velvets

Anymore   four-track EP

(Enviken)



Unhurried bop buffed to high sparkle with 18-karat Jazz chamois. Alastair, Ralph, and Mario recently played France's Festival Rockin' Berry. (That triple-day event's bill also included Jack Baymoore, Miss Mary Ann, and Arsen Roulette.) One report enthused that the roster "kept the dance floor packed until the early hours of the morning." This EP, produced by the spring-loaded trio, gives testimony as to the vintage vibe that had shoe leather in tatters by festival closing.

Recommended: "Anymore," "Candy Shop," "Midnight Hour (when I bop)," "In Years"
