Solt Olio - Limited Edition CD's

New Year's Download

As a farewell to 2013 and since I'm not quite sure when or if any of these will be finalized I'll be putting the COVERS album up for download. Whole thing FREE of charge.. in it's entirety or per track, your choice. Whether we decide to revisit them and re-mix is unknown but even if we do you can come back and download any future versions as many times as you'd like.

DC Rock Live - Review

High praise from one of D.C.'s most prolific writers, Mr. David Hintz:

THE VELVET ANTS - "SOLT OLIO"

"This crafty area band continues to put their creative touches on new garage pop music. There are great hooks, jangly guitars, nice harmonies and a whole lot of what you remember from the 1960s. Yet they add electronics and modern touches at key moments to keep everything clearly grounded in the present. I hear reminders of other fine bands like Hush Arbors and even Dead Meadow at times, which works for me. And unlike many albums, the good songs are not front loaded making listening to the entire album more of a chore than a pleasurable exploration. These guys keep bringing on the quality songs with further and further creative flourishes to keep you at rapt attention. I highly recommend spending some time getting to know this album, there are a myriad of pleasures to be had.

Songs to try first:

Cardigan's Fable - I like the subtle menace of the guitar lines, as the song rocks along with great depths of sound.

What If - Invitingly warm vocal line wrapped around a classic 1960s jangly guitar and spirited rhythm.

Digitalis - Incredibly psychedelic and modernly lush with killer vocals. Gorgeous song."
