Josh/SGL (probably the only real member of VC) seems to be little more than an internet black metal troll but yeah, the atmosphere that was created with “Genevieve” was definitely something special. Laudanum, the title track and Avalon Polo would have to be my favourites. I hear a ton of MBV ‘Loveless’ influence here..
‘Northsuite’ is their one other release pretty close to this caliber IMO and is really the perfect type of thing for driving in a dark, rainy night.
I see a new album by Clair Cassis featuring Velvet Cacoon member(s) is available for pre-order at Full Moon Productions now… could be interesting.
