Velvet Static

**Velvet Static** is a Portland-based dream-pop duo blending ethereal textures with shoegaze-inspired grit. Formed in 2018 by multi-instrumentalists Jake Monroe (vocals/guitar) and Lila Torres (bass/synths), their music weaves introspective lyrics about human connection and nature’s rhythms over lush soundscapes. Tracks like “Shimmer,” “Thunderstorm,” and “Southbound” showcase their DIY ethos, with self-produced releases favoring analog warmth and hypnotic grooves. While staying largely under the radar, their growing catalog—including fan favorites “Sunflower” and “Flames”—has earned cult status on indie platforms, paired with intimate Pacific Northwest live shows that feel like shared twilight drives.
