Velvet Dream is more than a collection of songs - it’s a cosmic nudge sent to remind you that your future begins with a choice. You close your eyes and a vision begins to form: a life just beyond your reach, patiently awaiting your arrival. It’s the version of yourself you imagine when you tune out the noise and tune in to the things that make you feel. With their
Broc Recordz debut,
Rujen aim to open doors through that very threshold with 11 tracks of 70s-tinged space rock that thoughtfully weave together lyrical themes of time, personal agency, and the pursuit of silencing self-doubt.
Rujen is a five-piece space rock outfit from Atlanta - consisting of frontman
Ryan Miller, lead guitarist
Creighton Perme, keyboardist
Nick Hanchey, bassist
Charlie Brady and drummer
Ryan Barrett - that collages inspiration from 70s psychedelic rock, pop and soul. The "east coast band with a west coast sound" debuted in 2022 with their album Feel It's True, a collection of songs that were written and recorded at the group's home studio during their formative years in the late 2010s, and have shared the stage with acts such as
The Bright Light Social Hour,
Kate Bollinger, and
Jared Mattson (of
The Mattson 2). The band signed with Broc Recordz (EU) ahead of their anticipated sophomore album '
Velvet Dream' set to release June 27, 2025 (recorded and mixed by
Drew Vandenberg (
Faye Webster,
of Montreal,
Toro y Moi) in Athens, GA).
