The first full album by the Veldt, led by the redoubtable singing and guitar-playing brothers Danny and Daniel Chavis, remains a remarkable lost masterpiece of 90s American pop music. The work of a rock band openly indebted to UK lodestars like the Cocteau Twins and A. R. Kane, Afrodisiac equally draws on hip-hop, soul and gospel as well as the majestic crush of shoegaze, resulting in a rich, layered experience.
