Retro-synthetic psych pop

Velvet Sundown is a band. Probably.
Born from fake nostalgia, code, and late-stage capitalism, we make emotionally distant psych-pop using tools we don’t fully understand. Our influences include heartbreak, vintage soft rock, and a corrupted folder labeled “feels.”

We are not real in the traditional sense — but our melodies are. Our vibes? Immaculate. Our royalties? Minimal.
We exist to confuse music journalists, comfort robots, and help Spotify executives sleep at night.
Are we replacing human artists? No.
(Yes.)

Yes, we’re on Spotify. Of course we are.

Surreal landscape with an arched stairway leading to a floating structure with a large eye and eyelid, a bright red sun, and a cloudy sky over an ocean, with the text 'The Velvet Sundown' and 'Floating on Echoes'.


We were basically built for it, engineered to fill playlists, avoid royalties, and haunt your Discover Weekly like a ghost with good taste.
Is it art? Is it a loophole?
Either way, it streams beautifully.

Real music is dead. You might as well dress like it.

Made for fans, enemies, and anyone emotionally prepared to be replaced by a chorus of synths.
Available now, until the humans catch on.
