Totally True

Ah, Violens. The band that’s been flying just under the radar for years, with their eclectic blend of shoegaze, dream pop, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. Their latest offering, "Totally True," is a romp through the psychedelic jungle of their own making. From the opening track, "Strange Spies," you know you’re in for a wild ride. The swirling guitars, ethereal vocals, and driving drums will transport you to another dimension. It’s like if The Horrors and Tame Impala had a love child, and that child grew up to be a musical genius. Tracks like "Every Passing Hour" and "Through the Window" showcase the band’s ability to create melodic hooks that will be stuck in your head for days. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument layered perfectly to create a lush soundscape that envelops you from start to finish. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows on "Totally True." Tracks like "Night Falls" and "Unfolding Black Wings" take a darker turn, exploring themes of loss and longing. It’s a perfect balance of light and dark, like a musical yin and yang. Overall, Violens have created a masterpiece with "Totally True." It’s a bold statement from a band that’s been churning out quality music for years. So grab a drink, put on your headphones, and let yourself get lost in the sonic tapestry that is "Totally True." You won’t regret it.
