An indie rock band with more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify has owned up to being an AI-generated music project following days of speculation about whether the group was real.
Named Velvet Sundown – seemingly a nod to Lou Reed's band The Velvet Underground – the digital group has become a viral hit, generating ferocious online discussion after racking up hundreds of thousands of listens.
An updated Spotify profile, consulted on Tuesday by AFP, admitted that the group was an "ongoing artistic provocation".
"All characters, stories, music, voices and lyrics are original creations generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools employed as creative instruments," Velvet Sundown's profile added.

Musically, it's put together well. Sounds like a cross between Bad Company, LZ and Mike and the Mechanics.
Lyrically, it's just somber lines thrown together without a real cohesive theme. Like a teenager might write.
Some lines even seem to contradict other lines.
Something ominous must be happening, but what is it?
Anybody can make up their own nightmare scenario. Maybe that is on purpose?
