VIOLENS: BLOOD AND STRINGS.
Weston: Every article I’ve read about you tries to describe your sound. How about you tell us instead - at least that way it will be accurate.
Violens: Generally, we’ve described our sound as spiritual/aggressive, psychedelic/creepy… warm/fuzzy? We hope it’s all those things and more. Our influences are all over the place and obvious at the same time. Violens is a melding of the somewhat contrasting words “violence” and “violins”, and the images and emotions these two words evoke is what we strive to conjure in the music.
W: You’ve been opening for MGMT and Yeasayer, touring now with Grizzly Bear, and will soon be playing with Grand Archives. Pretty diverse, but they all want you - what’s the connection?
V: Much of this is due to the friendships we’ve developed with MGMT and Grizzly Bear (with all of us being local) and the mutual interest in each other’s music. We are fans of both groups and honored to support them. Jorge recently had a great time remixing ‘Time To Pretend’ for MGMT. We just got off a short tour run with them, which was amazing, and we’re looking forward to opening for them on their UK and Ireland tour in November. We don’t know the music of Grand Archives well, but from what we’ve heard, we’re psyched to play the Seaport Music Festival with them.
