MH-254 Boy In Static - Violet  Violet is Boy In Static’s follow up to the 2005 Alien Transistor release, Newborn. While Newborn was a collection of songs meant to conjure images of a half-waking dream, the music on Violet invokes a feeling of the morning after. Violet is developed using a broad palette, with more than fifteen instruments being played directly by the artist. Boy In Static is in perfect stride with his bedroom-electro-ballad aesthetic, building on his fuzzy brand of hushed dream-pop with a timely maturity. Striking a balance between organic song structure and intricate computer-based processing, Boy In Static’s lush vocals and mature songwriting distinguish Violet from a sea of other indie-electronic releases. |

| Math rock by pre-algebra dropouts. Shoe gazing by guys in bare feet. There's many an emo-related analogy for Boy in Static, and they all end with the group being cooler than its counterparts. Because murky guitars and vacant vocals don't have to come with pretense--they can just sound good. - Download |
