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. |

| Drift into my pores pretty drifting music from another time and place. You are soaked in loveless melodies, scarred chords and orchestral manoeuvres. Be thankful that your masters have spent their Boston days in search of a recipe that will leave some of us open mouthed and pensive. Building on the newborn journey, things have turned slightly violet and the soft undertow will pull at internal workings that may have lay dormant since pop stopped being dreamy. Static yet electric, boyish yet grown up, leftfield yet right on. - Mp3 Hugger |
