If anything, Violens might be one of the more straightforward shoegazer bands around Brooklyn. In a town awash with wash, the band stands out for their adherence to pop earworms even while dousing their ensemble in buckets of reverb and delay. Their latest 7" ‘Totally True,’ continues to the band’s growing songwriting concision and couples the track with the brand new "Something Falling."
It’s all in preparation for their pending May release of ‘True,’ an album appropriately titled for a sound this honest.
See them when they play Le Poisson Rouge for the record release party on May 16.
