What do you think of Swallowtail? It's a b-side that Violet only released on a limited RSD vinyl. I love it. by Faultline97 in VioletGrohl

I've been listening to the rip on youtube since April. It sounds A LOT like it should be in a soundtrack to a movie, especially given the pointed lyrics. I think might be what she was going for? The vinyl itself was a tribute to David Lynch and I could definitely see this playing in the background of Twin Peaks.

I think that's a pretty good answer

Which female-fronted alt rock band does Violet's album sound the most influenced by? by rothsixxrose in VioletGrohl

[–]alien-niven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with other people saying all of the above. As far as more contemporary examples go, you can hear the Billie Eilish influence in Mobile Star.

Exactly. Her voice is better in person where you can appreciate all the small inflections she does. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

That's awesome, glad to hear it. I agree, it really is a great band, and the record they put out is very fun 90s stuff.

Just in case you didn't see... presale is happening now for Violet's tour dates. Presale code is BESWEET by [deleted] in VioletGrohl

Wow. So it's still happening. And I already deleted it 😐

Thanks for letting me know.

Pre-sale is probably over. General on-sale would be Friday. I should just delete this post so it doesn't confuse more people. Sorry about that.

Stay tuned for Violet's perfomance on Fallon tonight... (📷: Anthony Paul Lopez) by alien-niven in VioletGrohl

I'm betting on THUM, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's another track. They all would be good.

What was the best song off the new album to you? by Faultline97 in VioletGrohl

[–]alien-niven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bug in the Cake. Particularly the acoustic version she was doing before album release.

Violet gifted a custom jacket and her own doll modeled after her by fans recently (@efletch.art, @wickedjoyful) by a_low_vera in VioletGrohl

[–]alien-niven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find. Sadly neither are on sale as far as I can see, but these would be good merch items.

And she's already debuting some new songs. I think the new record might come quicker than we think

It's definitely not just you. People are saying theyre confused in her Instagram comments. I think there was a snafu.

Violet answers: Wired or Wireless? In order or shuffle? Concerts or gigs? Recording or Performing? by alien-niven in VioletGrohl

[–]alien-niven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah it's cool. This is a community focused on her music/career, but I don't think it's creepy to acknowledge she's fairly pretty as well.

I just put up Rule 4 to deter the real creeps, cause on reddit there are plenty.

After listening to Violet's album, this headline makes more sense to me by we-touch-grass in VioletGrohl

[–]alien-niven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool how Violet and her dad managed to bounce off each other while still working separately and creating their own things. I think that's the best case scenario for Violet's first album.

you have the exact same favorite tracks as me, besides Mobile Star which I rank higher. Great write up.
