Faux animaux

On the album 'Faux Animaux', Blue Violet continue their exploration of rich electronic avenues inspired by Calvi, St Vincent, Radiohead, Bowie, recent Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Twin Peaks. With their songwriting as sublime as ever, they've become one of the most enthralling underground propositions of the age. Recorded in Bristol's J&J studios with Bat For Lashes and Hannah Peel mixer / producer TJ Allen, 'Faux Animaux' is a unified and sophisticated update of modern British alt-pop, drifting from sizzling space disco to stunning, swirling cinematic vistas. Blue Violet returned to the stage in March - when they also shared one off single 'Human After All' - to join The Gaslight Anthem during various shows at London's Roundhouse, but as the duo have shown festival crowds this summer, 'Faux Animaux' is set to usher in their own glory days. It's a stunning amalgam of modernism and melody that spotlights not just humankind's failings and fakery but it's leaders' too. "The fake animals could be seen as the powers that be, leading us down paths that result in us ignoring our more natural instincts, often making decisions without our permission," says Sam. Quietly, a beast awakens.
