The music of Violet Sands provides a similar effect. The Brooklyn-based trio’s genre-bending and dreamlike sonic excursions pair echoes of 80’s new wave, 90s R&B, shoegaze, and electronica, resulting in a distinctively modern sound, laced with traces of Machinedrum, Disclosure and the xx.

Speaking of the new single, front-women Deidre Muro explains: “This song is a daydream, remembering from a more self-aware perspective how simple things seemed as recently as yesterday. It's so easy to pine for a rose-colored past, or to just long for a familiar feeling.”

“Do You Remember” is the second single revealed off the band’s upcoming debut LPHotel (June, 2017 via YouTooCanWoo). It follows lead album single “Drive” which was praised by BlackBook as “full of longing [that] reminds of Robert Smith’s cheerier moments” and is currently featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Playlist.

“Drive” followed the group’s’ early 2017 single “Hello, I’m Free” (currently ft. in Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” Campaign) and the 2016 debut Strange Attractor EP ft. breakout single “No Matter What” (97K views, Vimeo Staff Pick). The stunning video for “No Matter What” continues to gain accolades and was just announced as a 2017 Webby Awards Official Honoree (Music Video Category).

Catch Violet Sands live in Brooklyn this Friday 4/21 at Brooklyn Bazaar / PopGun Presents Showcase with Body Language and Ian Chang and watch the band’s recent SoFar Sounds “Airy Canary” performance for a taste of what’s in store…

Harnessing the alluring vocals of Deidre Muro (Deidre & the Dark, formerly of Savoir Adore), the inventive production of David Perlick-Molinari (French Horn Rebellion) and the atmospheric guitar-scapes of Derek Muro (Love Like Deloreans, Mighty Five), Violet Sands craft genre-bending music, creating a fresh and dreamy mix of nostalgia with the present. The band’s forthcoming debut LP Hotel (June 2017) will be the first full-length release on YouTooCanWoo - a brand new label arm of the members’ long time studio and community in Brooklyn. The trio are part of a crew that works on diverse sound and audio projects, including composing original film and video game scores and producing and mixing artists like MGMT and The Knocks.
