Release Notes:
new york's violens (pronounced vy-lenz) will follow up their
outstanding debut ep (deadly recordings) with the release of a limited
edition 7" single on chess club records, a young label with a talent
for picking up the hottest bands on the horizon. to celebrate the
release, violens are heading to london for a run of shows with british
chart toppers white lies, brooklyn's school of seven bells and hatcham
social! a-side 'lighting lightning' fuses bouncy riffs and horn synths
with the tremolo picking of black metal music to convey its melodic and
lyrical themes - a picture of a couple whose progressive mental
devolution impairs their ability to responsibly take care of one
another. 'violent sensation descends' (lansing-dreiden remix) is a
dance-floor interpretation of the original sunny 60s pop-sounding
violens song, by the art collective of which frontman jorge elbrecht is
also a member. the track features a pulsing low end, muted clean guitar
parts (a la durutti column), chopped vocal phrases, and the sound of
costa rican rainforest birds having dirty sex with humans. over the
coming weeks the quartet will also release a free digital remix ep
culled from tracks off their debut. 'vlns rmx' ep will include
contributions from their pals mgmt, philadelphia pop chameleons lilys,
international remix collective rac, and newcomers subtle people!
caroline polacheck of chairlift also crafted visuals for a 'video
remix' of already over, the song originally premiered on zane lowe's
bbc show.
