Chariots/Aganju (IV vs Bebel Mashup)

International Velvet is back! The psychedelic, electronica, side project of Rob Myers (Thievery Corporation, Fort Knox Five, Thunderball & See-I) returns with the new single “Children of the Uncanny Valley”, an epic, Sitar-saturated head trip with just the right amount of delay, decay and dub to give it healing powers.  Featuring a single sitar melody winding slowly atop a steady, dubby synth bass, the tune is a laid back string-bending ride. Myers is perhaps best known for his Sitar riff on Thievery Corporation's "Lebanese Blonde" and he brings that classic chill out downtempo vibe to this single!

Chariot

LouLou Ghelichkhani and Rob Myers of the Thievery Corporation live band recorded this version of "Sweet Tides" in the backstage stairwell at the House of Blues in Orlando, October 2010. It was made at the request of Tour Manager, Kamal Soliman, who's sister wanted to walk down the aisle to an "acoustic version" for her wedding a month later. No effects were added, that's just the reverb from the stairwell.  The original track appears on Thievery Corporation's "Radio Retaliation."

Thievery Corporation "Sweet Tides" (Acoustic)

When he's not trickin' out on the Guitar & Sitar for Fort Knox Five, See-I, Thunderball and Thievery Corporation, Rob Myers is in international waters at the helm of International Velvet. Cruisin' past the isles of Dub and Funk to the Sitar-Infested Deeps, it's an uncharted voyage that reminds listeners to keep their eyes on the horizon and be prepared to get wrecked.
