In a little less than a month, a band calling itself The Velvet Sundown has amassed more than 550,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. 

With two albums — “Floating On Echoes” and “Dust and Silence” — released in rapid succession in June, the group’s sudden rise has been as mystifying as their digital footprint is sparse.

The group’s bio is drenched in dreamlike metaphor, introducing its members as “vocalist and mellotron sorcerer Gabe Farrow,” guitarist Lennie West, bassist-synth alchemist Milo Rains and percussionist Orion “Rio” Del Mar. But no trace of these supposed musicians exists online — not even a modest trail of interviews, performances or social media activity. 

That is, until an Instagram account surfacedon June 27, bearing images critics have called “eerily AI-generated.”

It's always the hands. Even when they have 5 fingers, they always look the same. Then there is the lighting. Nice try AI. Fuck this dystopian nightmare we have created.  Ole Ted K was right.
