| "The
bastard offspring of John Barry and Scott Walker" - Blam!
online
| Based in
Brighton on the south coast of England, veldt record and
perform songs in their own unique style, with influences ranging
from sixties film scores (Morricone, Barry, Budd) to the loops and
samples of the darker corners of modern pop.
Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist
and songwriter Lloyd Wadey, guitarist/producer James Waterland
and 'cellist/keyboardist Mike Alexander combine to create
a textured, brooding sound, evocative of the melancholia-tinged
urban landscape which their lyrics reveal - a world of paranoia
and self-doubt, of obsessive desires and failed ambitions, of endless
mornings full of regret... yet shot through with tantalising glimpses
of hope.
