NEW SINGLES: BENEDIKT, TUVABAND, VELVET VISION, BROTHER.

by Kevin Flick - Puddlegum

Betty Taylor is a new artist releasing music under the moniker of Velvet Vision. Hailing from Santa Fe, New Mexico, she began working on this project during pandemic. This week she released her debut single, Springtime Buzz, which she tracked in her bedroom studio. Her sound is a fun mix of downtempo dream pop and analogue electro pop tones, with lush vocal harmonies.

Explaining the song, Betty shares that Springtime Buzz is about the “irrational nature of emotions… the kind of emotions that can make you sing ‘you’re just another boy who made me cry’ and ‘there was something in your eyes” in the same line.'”

Velvet Vision is not Betty’s first foray in music. Before relocating to Santa Fe, she fronted the dreamy Delilah Fang on guitar and vocals while living in Minneapolis. Et is an experimental orchestral duo in which she currently plays violin with keyboardist Theo Krantz.

Velvet Vision’s debut EP, Springtime Buzz, is coming out March 25; expect to hear more about this project from Puddlegum. Theo Krantz mixed and mastered the EP. Be sure to watch the music video, created by the talented illustrator Helen Teague.
