Nightmare Daydream, the Velveteers' debut album, is an explosive cocktail of powerful riffs and punchy rhythms. One can't help but hear in it echoes of Led Zeppelin or even T. Rex. The secret ingredients? Two drumkits and the ubiquitous Dan Auerbach behind the console. This one half of the Black Keys has found an ideal project: "I instantly dug them. They’re amazing live, and their videos are so creative. And they just sound so powerful. Any time you doubletrack drums on a record, it’s going to sound so heavy. Then you put that together with this baritone guitar player who is so unique, and it’s so bombastic. There’s nothing like them.” And indeed, we find the heavy stuff right away with Dark Horse, which combines the same elements that we will encounter throughout this record listening: saturated guitars and tempestuous drums contrasting with melodic interludes with sixties accents. When a lull appears, on the No Doubt-esque Brightest Light, it's not for very long, and it only makes it more affecting when, on Choking, we hear Demi Demitro's voice chopped up by her two drummers and wrapped up in her dissonant riffs. The moments of lightness sound as if Asteroids Galaxy Tour were gigging in a haunted castle (Nightmare Daydream). We also find the bombast that Auerbach loves so much at the end of the album, on Limboland with its melancholic violins which have the air about them of someone trying to clean up after a tornado. But they're still worth playing seriously loud. © Alexander Fay/Qobuz
