With 3 albums, 3 EPs (including one on Rocket), a compilation on labels like Höga Nord and Adrian Recordings already behind them this Malmö 5 piece are famed for creating trance inducing, repetitive, psych. Their ever evolving sound has always taken in many global influences, from Middle Eastern to African to the monotonous explorations of composers like Steve Reich and Terry Riley.

The firewood that is Ved’s work has reminiscent echoes of the primal work of UK act Snapped Ankles, but Ved’s journey is a wholly unique controlled burn where rapid oxidation devours any listener into a blaze of restorative enchantment. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocket Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50452236861771,"sku":"1112957","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5e7542d0-5864-4fef-b529-0b1fd6e8765a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727144966"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_f349758d_thumbnail_4096_65004a41-1a9b-4639-90c8-19a7f985f6ef.jpg?v=1727144948","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/ved.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
