PREMIERE: Violet - I Come Undone
Violet, the musical project of British model, socialite and Bob Geldof daughter Pixie, mixes the pastoral, the dreamy and hushed yet intense emotion really well. Her first track "Y.O.U." actually has a grungy Hole vibe (she named the project after the classic Live Through This track) , but this new one "I Come Undone" is way more Mazzy Star with brushed drums and canyon guitar leads. Both tracks form the first Violet single, which comes May 7 on Luv Luv Luv.
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Camphor - Enjoy The Struggle
If you're maniac depressive, I wouldn't recommend listening to Camphor. But while the tone is definitely on the somber side, the whispered lyrics are potent and tender. After all, Max Avery Lichtenstein wrote much of the songs of "Drawn To Dust" inspired by the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, "the idea that greatness exists in the inconspicuous details of the world, and that heart-tugging beauty can be found in the imperfect and the broken." So screw perky bubble gum pop, this stuff is real. So real it kinda hurts.
