About this product
Mo Troper is truly one of a kind, and that's never been more apparent than on his fifth full-length, the winkingly titled MTV. Arriving hot on the heels of his 2021 full-length, Dilettante, the album finds the Portland, OR-based power pop extraordinaire diving further into home-recorded immediacy to make a record that feels like a strikingly direct conduit to the world of Mo-where heartbreak, hilarity, and hooks all go hand-in-hand. MTV hurtles through 15 songs in just 31 minutes, with most of the tracks never even coming close to the three-minute mark. The sequence feels like a combination of a fever dream and a travel diary, intertwining tales of romantic longing with the ups and downs of cross-country touring. Songs like InchAcross The USA,Inch InchRoyal Jelly,Inch or InchCoke ZeroInch unravel the headaches and heartbreaks, often alternating between unflinching emotional details and legitimately funny one-liners. InchI feel like I'm just in this mode of rebelling against the expectation for artists to be emotionally or aesthetically cohesive,Inch Troper says. InchI think about all my favorite records and songwriters, and they're often these people who would have really depressing stuff and then insane moments of levity that don't get talked about as much. I want to make music that's emotional but also campy or sarcastic or resonates in other ways. I'm like, 'you know what, it's all me.'Inch

Velvets is an endless summer night dipped in a bucket of rock, blues, schlager and funk with a cool breeze coming at you from the south. All set in a timeless space, where the past, present and future are fused into one. The songs will take you on a journey of love and longing, speeding on the highway and taking off to a place beyond the stars. Velvets was born in January 2021, when the duo Sami and Sakke were desperately in need of creating new music. With too much time on their hands after finishing the second Rokets album, the Finnish band where the two first met each other as members. The first idea for Velvets was to write love songs and stick to them, kicking things off by listening to a lot of Moon Martin. The duo has previously toured Finland and the Baltic countries extensively with Rokets since August 2017, well known in Finland for their sweaty, energetic live shows. The band opened for Kaleidobolt in Helsinki for their album party of their latest album InchBitterInch and were the closing act of the first day of the Finnish festival Kill Sörnäinen in Helsinki. With two EP's titled InchRoketsInch and InchSpeed & SoundInch and the debut album InchFast TimesInch, released on digital and vinyl in 2020/2021 under the belt the duo decided that it was time for a project of their own - Velvets. The band sounds like a session where Moon Martin, Hurriganes, ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, and The Allman Brothers started experimenting on a new kind of sound that brought all the pieces together from the different styles of the sweet, sweet music we call rock n roll. This is not your average rough and tough, rowdy and raunchy boy band, with the testosterone levels going through the roof. This is Velvets; beautiful, meaningful songs with melodies born of warm memories and moments we've shared with someone we hold dear.
