‘every time you hit play on a Velvet Bloom song you always know that you’re going to be enchanted and this upload does not disappoint. Maddy’s vocals are undeniably sweet and the stripped back nature of ‘Miles Away’ really allows for the these to shine through!’ – Anika Luna, Triple J Unearthed

‘There is a jazzy soul inflection to her voice – exhibiting an astonishing range that appears to have no limitations. Emotions bleed through every note as a synth bed slowly rises beneath the surface, buoyant and dappling.’ – Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia

Soul soaked and heart healing, the wait for Velvet Bloom’s acoustic three track EP ‘Where You Are’  is finally over. Out now via C.W. Records, the EP is home to first single ‘Miles Away’, ‘Goodbye’, and title track ‘Where You Are’ featuring vocals from R&B songwriter Jay Jarome, with a bonus track ‘Isobel’s Song’ on physical copies. Together Velvet Bloom and Jay Jarome are setting off this July, bringing ‘Where You Are’ to cocktails bars, breweries, seaside venues, and more across Victoria and Tasmania.

Mastered by Joe Carra of Crystal Mastering, Velvet Bloom’s EP ‘Where Are You’ is a collection of honest stories, an experience that will have you simultaneously fall apart and stitched back together through threads of candid songwriting and creativity. Floating across a world of dreamy synths and guitar, the lyrics meander through themes of love, loss, grief, and more, as ‘Miles Away’ opens the EP; an anthem for touring musicians for long distance lovers, and moves through ‘Goodbye’; a letter in song form for Maddy Herbert’s father, holding space for her farewell and closure from his passing. Closing title track ‘Where You Are’ features nipaluna/Hobart based musician Jay Jarome, for a heartfelt collaboration – ‘This song takes me back to that longing, daydreaming of waking up with that special someone and having nothing on the agenda. Days of warm morning light through the window, lying in and loving all day, wine and dancing in the evening.’ – Jay Jarome.

With an ability to warm an entire room no matter where you are standing, a ray of sunshine that bursts from the vocals of Velvet Bloom’s Maddy Herbert, it is no wonder that they have captured audiences across Australia, with a 2022 tour through VIC, NSW, QLD, ACT and TAS, with sold out shows at Lazy Bones (NSW) and The Night Cat (VIC), appearances on ABC’s Spicks and Specks, The National Gallery of Victoria, Loch Hart Music Festival and Tanglewood, and a national tour with WA indie-rockers Great Gable. Now Velvet Bloom embarks on a Victorian and Tasmanian tour alongside Jay Jerome, with dates in the Grampians, Mornington Peninsula, Hobart, Melbourne, and more.

Get ready to melt in the magic and moments of Velvet Bloom’s live shows this July.
