Mirror To Make You

Natural Velvet is Corynne Ostermann (bass, vocals), Greg Hatem (drums), Spike Arreaga (guitar) and Kim Te (guitar). The post-punk quartet is known in their native Baltimore for a distinct sound that is both aggressive and catchy. Framed by washing guitars, vocals that alternately howl and harmonize, and throbbing drum sounds, Natural Velvet creates music that moves between gazey indie pop and guttural, wall of sound noise rock. Aggressive bass lines throughout tie together a dark and foreboding framework, ultimately leaving the listener with haunting melody and hypnotic rhythm. At times confrontational, at times seductive, Ostermanns vocals guide the listener through dark rolling narratives of identity, existence, rage, and femininity. The band began in 2012, and will be releasing Mirror To Make You on Friends Records in mid-2017. Recorded by Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, The Swans, Herbie Hancock) Mixed by Rob Girardi (Beach House, Celebration) Mastered by Sarah Register
