TVC&#8217; first EP titled <strong>Dandruff<\/strong> sparked waves throughout music blogs and charts, clocking in thousands of downloads within the EP&#8217;s debut weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Title track <em>I\/O<\/em> unleashes the album with textured riffs and seemingly scattered but well-positioned drum beats. Dark, earthly vocals magnetize the whole arrangement into a cohesive whole.<\/p>\n<p>Emerging from the same mold as that of the previous track, <em>Human<\/em>\u00a0uses layered keys and thicker bass. The track makes the right amount of noise that&#8217;s loud but still headphone-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>TVC also has a flare for contrast, which was showcased in <em>Higher<\/em>. The rapid drum beats builds an ergonomic relationship with the stretching,\u00a0chill -out\u00a0vocals giving the whole track that right amount of energetic pace.<\/p>\n<p>Slowing things a bit is <em>In Circles<\/em>. Press play and let the fleeting sound and poignant lyricism touch your very core.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>I\/O<\/strong>, <strong>The Velvet Chameleon<\/strong> defies sonic gravity as each track floats and standouts with its individual uniqueness and beauty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track List:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
