Hear The Veldt’s Previously Unreleased Elizabeth Fraser Collab “Aurora Borealis” From Lost 1989 Debut

The twin brothers Daniel and Danny Chavis started their band the Veldt in Raleigh in 1986, and they’ve been making soul-inflected shoegaze ever since. For a little while, they relocated to New York and changed their name to Apollo Heights, but they’ve been the Veldt for most of that time. They’re still at it; last year, we posted their impressive cover of the Impressions’ “Check Out Your Mind.” In 1989, the band recorded a debut album that never came out. Now, they’re getting ready to release that album on their own, and they’ve just shared a track that features vocals from the great Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser.
