MUMBAI: Following their critically acclaimed prior releases Ghost and When the Light Goes Down this year, featuring on cult taste makers The Killing Moon and Nerve Magazine amongst others, London based alt pop band VIØLETS would go on to perform a flurry of shows at east London’s Ace Hotel and The Old Blue Last in quick succession. A fittingly cool introduction to one of the city’s most promising emerging acts.
Continuing the wave of new music, the three piece (Pippa, Aaron and Rob) now release a guardedly bouncy new track Falling in Time. Citing influences from Florence and The Machine to Vaults, Sylvan Esso and The xx, their glossy, delicate sound conjures a raw,subtle power fronted by the ethereal vocals of front woman Pippa Sarratt. Falling in Time brings an uptick in terms of tempo relative to their previously more slow burning offerings, however the gravity and weight of Pippa’s tone with the stark guitar plucks and considered touches of electronica anchors Falling in Time in what is quickly becoming a signature style for the young band.
Speaking on the track, Aaron, Rob and Pippa state, “This track was written after spending a summer with some amazing people, also about a place where you can be where and whoever you want to be, a parallel to the real world, a place full of dreamers and their dreams. It’s about the feeling of living in the moment a carelessness that is rare and something we wanted to capture. A feeling that we all share. The cerebral instrumentals layered with both a powerful voice and charisma points to the fact that VIØLETS should be on a number of radars are the ones to watch lists this year.”
