The debut album from the Brighton trio established their sound, often described as 'nightmare pop'. 'Violet Cries' is a dark and atmospheric work, blending the shimmering, ghostly textures of ethereal wave and dream pop with the angular tension of post-punk. Rachel Davies' powerful and emotive vocals guide the listener through somber, nocturnal soundscapes, making for a compelling and melancholic introduction.
