Violens' songs re-imagined as instrumental marches for Patrik Ervell's Spring
Summer '09 fashion show.
Swedish fashion designer Patrik Ervell asked Violens to write the music for his
spring/summer '09 show in New York, which turned out to be a perfect soundtrack
for his light-colored collection. A sprinkle from the fabulous glamour of New
York fashion week isn't enough in and of itself, but Violens can stand their
ground without Ervell. This New York-based quartet produce a brand of
psychedelic pop with great commercial potentialùimagine shimmery synths, tight
harmonies and symphonic feverishness. It's no surprise, then, that they've
already been picked up by the same label that brought us MGMT. The two bands are
touring both sides of the Atlantic this winter so be sure to catch Violens in a
small venue while you still can.
The new EP includes "Violent Sensations Descends," a track with Beach Boys-esque
guitar melodies and a happy-go-lucky sound. Meanwhile, "Trance Like Turn" is a
tad more electronic, but still upbeat and dance-friendly. Though the band
describes their sound as "descriptions of nightmares," Violens' music has
somewhat the opposite effectùit will just make you happy.
