VIOLET NIGHT
Premieres New Video
"Where We Began" via NYLON
Debut LP Colours Of You
Out May 4th, 2018
Available for Pre-Order, here: smarturl.it/VN-COY
Little Prairie, BC - April 19, 2018 - Alternative/indie duo Violet Night is thrilled to share the music video for their brand new single "Where We Began," streaming now exclusively on NYLON. The song comes from the band's forthcoming debut LP, Colours Of You, which consists of ten atmospheric and anthemic songs about love, loss, hope, and happiness, and has recently been featured on Alternative Press. Colours Of You will be released on May 4th, and is available for pre-order at smarturl.it/VN-COY. For more information, please visit: www.violetnight.org.
"I've always been the kind of person who sees the best in people. This song is about when my faith is misplaced. You can't just love someone into loving you back," shares vocalist/guitarist Connor Pohl. "The title references the romanticized time earlier in a relationship, where things were better and you keep thinking they'll somehow get back to there. You've got to know what is worth fighting for, and constant fighting isn't that."
He adds: "Fortunately, I think going through these kinds of relationships has made me a better person, more self aware and aware of who I should love. I hope anyone who hears this song might be able to avoid the heartache from false hope."
Violet Night don't just play their instruments; they use them as tools to carefully construct emotion. Hailing from rural British Columbia, vocalist/guitarist Connor Pohl and keyboardist T.J. Rounthwaite aim to traverse soundscapes as diverse as their province's landscapes. From the soaring heights of mountains to the tranquil beauty of a forest, the sky's the limit with this band's sound and potential.
A recent mainstage appearance at Grizfest and co-headlining B.C. run with The Statistics proved Violet Night's charisma belongs on the stage, as much as their creativity belongs in the studio. With the floodgates of possibility opened and waves already forming, be prepared to be awash in Colours of You - and Violet Night.
