The day is again beautiful with that deep blue sky and plenty of sun. The air outside has a morning chill which I think will get warmer as the day gets older. Gracie has been outside all morning and barking every now and then. I went out with her while the coffee was brewing and saw nothing to prompt the barking, but I'm keeping an eye out for a coyote. My friend saw one twice yesterday morning, and the second sighting was right by my house. None have been around lately as the rabbits are fat and greedy. Two were [...]

There are some songs that sneak up on you, so unassuming in the first few seconds until it reaches a note where it seizes you in such a wonderfully forceful way and before you know it, you've already listened to it 19 times. Violet's "Where The Wild Things Grow" is one of these songs. Beautifully subtle at the beginning until it evolves into this lovely blend of lush strings and saccharine vocals. It's moving and thoughtful without being over the top, allowing the listener to relate to it within the contexts of their own life. Melt into it below. [...]
Wow. Just wow. If you’ve been put off Pixie Geldof’s band Violet because, well, it’s Pixie Geldof, then it’s time to rethink your thinking. New track Where The Wild Things Grow is one of the most gorgeous string laden torch songs we’ve heard for some time. Although Geldof calls it ‘a rough demo’ believe us there’s absolutely nothing rough about this. There’s a cinematic and serene beauty in this song, capturing the essence of a certain Miss Del Rey and Mazzy Star without ever being a poor man’s version of either. [...]

Her debut Last Night In My Dreams, I Was Talking To You EP will be coming out on LebensStrasse Records on February 18th and includes three original songs and three remixes by Sun Glitters, Slow Magic , and Robot Koch on the B-side.

Violet Class Taking a listen to Violet Class and the genealogy of Brit Pop from it's roots with the likes of The Kinks becomes ever clearer. A wall of reverberd guitar heralds the way for what is in essence sharply defined song [...]

One of the problems with the internet is that it makes everything seem bigger and more important than it actually is. Another is that it doesn’t have a pause button. As soon as something is uploaded and anyone has any sort of judgement on it, no matter how poorly thought out or how little knowledge on the subject they have, they can press play with their opinion and declare it to the world. We call this the megaphone of ignorance. [...]
