Violet Nox is back with their eighth album called Silvae. It is a masterpiece of progression for this band. If you have heard their former albums, this one will blow you away. Deep sonic textures, mechanical storytelling, ghostly vocals, and an incredible attention to musical detail, this is Violet Nox at their best. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Building new worlds, futuristic landscapes and intergalactic safe havens in the wake of vapour trails of laconic, hypnotizing new age psy-trance mysticism, Violet Nox once more embrace Gaia, Greek mythological etymology, astrology and science-fiction/fact on their latest album, the poetic Silvae.

The Boston, Massachusetts trio of synthesists and electronic crafters Dez DeCarlo and Andrew Abrahamson, and airy searching siren vocalist and caller Noell Dorsey occupy a dreamy ethereal plane that fits somewhere between Richard H. Kirk’s Sandoz, Vangelis, Claudia Brücken, Lisa Gerrard, Banco de Gaia and ecological revering dance music.

On their eighth album together (released via the highly prolific and influential North American label Somewherecold Records) the topics of identity, androgyny, resolution, self-discovery, self-love and resistance are lifted towards the stars, pumped and projected through the veils of ambience, trance, dub, EDM, rave, electro-pop, cold wave and techno.

Whether it’s journeying into the subconscious or leaving for celestial rendezvous, Violet Nox turns the vaporous into an electronic art form that’s simultaneously yearning and mysterious, cinematic and ready for the dance floor. Fizzing with techy sophistication and escapism, the American electronic group continues to map out a fresh cerebral sonic vision.

With their reputation growing all the while as they gather attention and plaudits from the blogosphere (making the Monolith Cocktail’s choice & favourite choice albums lists on numerous occasions), radio and press, and work across various multimedia spaces (from museums to galleries), the trio dreamingly, and in the moment, explore new textures, dynamics and atmospheres.
