Featuring the mellow vocals of former Savoir Adore lead singer Deidre Muro, the virtuoso electronic programming of French Horn Rebellion’s David Perlick-Molinari (her husband and MGMT collaborator), and the atmospheric guitar work of Derek Muro (her brother), Violet Sands can certainly be described as an uber-talented family group! The first single ‘No Matter What‘ from debut EP ‘Strange Attractor’ sounded like a musical experiment aimed at demonstrating that quirky arrangements and intense vocals can coexist, and that cut and paste music can have a heart. Their newest single ‘Airy Canary’ is a more linear and airy electronic mid-tempo that nods to the sophistipop of the ’80s. You can see the trio live at Palisades on May 20th.
