I have a new favorite band, and they're apparently not even real!
They're called The Velvet Sundown, and according to their X account, the up-and-coming band is "guided by human creative direction, and composed, voiced, and visualized with the support of artificial intelligence."
Before we go anywhere, let's listen to their top track on Spotify:
Not bad, ey?
The comments are even better:

Let's see what the AI band has to say about itself:
Believe it or not, The Velvet Sundown boasts 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify:
They've got a much-anticipated album releasing next week:
Looking forward to that one, and I might have to download it for a roadtrip.
As far as the question of whether TVS is a true AI band, let's take it over to music junkie and YouTuber Rick Beato and see what he has to say:
Notice, he can't really separate the instruments like he did with all those old songs. Probably because the songs are AI-generated.
Either way, I'm sticking to my guns here and saying this is my new favorite band (at least for the next three days or so).
