VIOLET COLD<br />

Anomie<br />

I just love it when totally out of the blue,<br />

you come across a new band or artist that<br />

you have never heard of before, and they<br />

totally blow you away.<br />

It was only yesterday when talking to<br />

Alex from the mighty Microdance that he<br />

sent me a link to a brilliant new album<br />

from an Azerbaijan artist, recording<br />

under the name Violet Cold.<br />

Now, it is, as ever, tricky to give a name<br />

to the music Violet Cold are making – is it<br />

shoegaze, maybe dreampop, could even<br />

be post black metal nu gazing something<br />

or other? – who cares. What I do know is<br />

that it is totally entrancing, beautifully put<br />

together and full of tiny ideas that send<br />

a shiver to all the places you need a<br />

shiver directed to at some point or<br />

other.<br />

Other than the music I know nothing<br />

about Violet Cold, but hopefully we can<br />

put that right over the coming months,<br />

and they are truly a fantastic band (if a<br />

one chap band is called a band, I don’t<br />

know.)<br />

Either way, go check them out and<br />

enjoy, they are quietly, and then loudly<br />

and then louderly brilliant.<br />
