The Violet Mine’s latest release ‘White Night’ is a testament to their eclectic blend of alternative, melodic indie-folk and rock and roll.
With hints of dream pop and new wave, their most recent compilation presents an evocative tapestry that delves into themes of religion, exploitation, and vulnerability. The two take a painting-like approach to the recording procedure. The recordings begin as in-studio live band performances that are subsequently overlaid with various instrument textures to create the ideal setting for the words to shine and convey the meaning of the album.
‘Perfect Host’, the first song, opens with an acoustic guitar and organ swell, introducing an unsuspecting songwriter to the unpredictable world of the music industry. The title track ‘White Night’ blends folk rock and indie pop with a beautiful, hook-driven melody. The single's upbeat beat and mysterious lyrics perfectly capture The Violet Mine's unique writing style. ‘Some Say’ chaotic, unbalanced beats are like a deranged Punch & Judy puppet performance. The slick, stylized rock of ‘Air Ride’ depicts the encounter between a cunning hijacker and a nervous, fearful passenger during the height of air travel. Thus, the album finishes with the ‘Devil’, a shower of doom submerged in a harmonium drone.
The ten-track compilation skillfully blends captivating synth work, distinctive guitar melodies, folk-rock elements, and deeply personal lyrics. Their sound is rooted in the melancholy corners of existence. It is an engrossing musical journey that showcases their growth as musicians.
White Night, is an album that highlights The Violet Mine's musical prowess as well as their enthusiasm, integrity, and dedication to developing their craft. Their latest album demonstrates their skill and harmonises with their entire discography.
