BAD VEINS

Bad Veins are a rarity in today’s musical landscape: An act who didn’t set out to become critical darlings or the next “buzz” band, but managed to achieve both. Equal parts cerebral and visceral, they excel at delivering crunchy, lo-fi indie that’ll swell your heart and dilate your pupils. Live, the duo have a third member: Irene. A reel-to-reel player that stacks an inordinate number of tracks, allowing for blissful cinematics and huge orchestration.
