Violens Premiere New Video, Announce New Tour Dates

violens

New York group Violens (sic) just premiered their first single off of their upcoming album Amoral.

The song is called “Acid Reign (In Trees Mix)” and the video features Caroline Polacheck of Chairlift directing.

Here’s what she said about the video.

“The R&B version of “Acid Reign” is so deep (the way kids say “deep” in middle school), almost too close and lush for comfort. Jorge is from Miami, so when I heard the song, I imagined a Miami heartbreaker-alter-ego in passionate, solitary mourning.”

You can get a looksee at the new video right here.

If that piques your interest, you can catch the Violens…
