The Taiwanese shoegaze band The Giraffe Told Me in My Dream returns with their second EP, Velvet Distortion, five years after their debut. This four-track release features ethereal soundscapes and hazy vocals reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine. Standout tracks like "Shallow," "Glimpse," and "Blurry," with its clear keyboard emphasis, showcase their growth, while "Before" offers a dynamic conclusion.
