The Indifferent Velvet Void is only the second full-length solo album by Alec Bathgate, despite a long career as one half of Tall Dwarfs and co-founder of legendary New Zealand punk bands The Enemy and Toy Love. It was released in 2004 on Lil' Chief Records.

All but one of the songs on the album were written by Bathgate; the remaining track, "Overundersidewaysdown", is a cover of a track by The Yardbirds.
