Violet Psalms

A swirling, theatrical farewell of fractured art rock. Jagged guitars, shimmering synths, and Carey Mercer's unmistakable operatic tremble paint a vivid twilight landscape.

May 18, 2018 · Paper Bag Records

A restless, theatrical intensity wrapped in shimmering, twilight-hued mystery.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the opening track A Strand of Blue Stars explodes from a quiet, shimmering guitar intro into a wall of theatrical, vibrato-heavy vocals.

The clattering, found-object percussion pattern that drives the frantic momentum of Idea Man.

The slow, dramatic build of the closing track Pay for Fire, where the guitars dissolve into a wash of beautiful, distorted noise.
