VIOLET YOUTH – SINGLE REVIEW

Violet Youth – She Said (Modern Sky UK) 
Violet Youth - She Said

Release Date: 8th September 2017

The guitars that open this new track and video from Blackburn upstarts Violet Youth are luscious. ‘She Said’ feels like a long-lost track by the Cure given a fresh approach by the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and Foals with it’s dreamy, almost disinterested vocals, those aforementioned guitars and drums that sit somewhere between tribal and nightclub vibes. The real hero on this tune, however, is the bassist (Jonny according to the band’s Facebook page) who plays with a rare mix of precision and groove which gives the song depth where it might otherwise have sounded light and flighty. A great example of how a band can be greater than the sum of their parts if they learn how to use those parts effectively.


Live Dates:

5th September – Deep Cuts @ Buyers Club, Liverpool w/Deja Vega + Rival Bones
30th September – Liquidation @ EBGBs, Liverpool
7th October - Gullivers, Manchester
