VIOLET SWELLS – ” Here Comes Yesterday “
Posted: April 12, 2015 in MUSICTags: Australian, Psychedelica, Strong island Recordings, Violet Swells
Australian psych-pop darlings Violet Swells have a new single out soon, which you can hear first here!
“Here Comes Yesterday” ramps up the baroque-pop splendour of their early singles, and expands into newer areas, with twin guitars, squelchy synths and a push into more progressive territory. Chief Swell guy Ben Simms says “I’ve been listening to a lot more prog, and I think that has been permeating into my song writing, mixing with the three minute sunshine pop songs I usually record. Buying a synth helped to open up different ideas that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have had too..”
“Here Comes Yesterday” will be released on Mirador Records in Australia and Strong Island Recordings in the U.K.

Violet Swells draw influence from the jazz musings of Brian Wilson, while producing an electrifying atmosphere, akin to the wild space rock sounds of Pink Floyd. The haunting sound of a mellotron is infused with raucous fuzz guitars, and bubblegum melodies that create symphonic soundtracks within three minute pop songs.

Having only formed in late 2013, Tasmanian psychedelic pop sextet Violet Swells have carved their own unique Sgt Pepper via Pet Sounds style within the psychedelia explosion that is gripping Australia currently.
