We are longtime
fans of the Portland-based dream pop act The High
Violets (read our 2010 interview with Clint Sargent here),
and the new single “Bells” has got us understandably excited. We haven’t heard
from the band since the gorgeous Cinéma LP
they released in 2010, and “Bells” is just the fix we needed. Kaitlyn ni
Donovan’s voice is as angelic as ever, and on “Bells” the band provides a
brilliant and ethereal backdrop to showcase it. It’s the perfect introduction
to their forthcoming LP Heroes and Halos,
which will be released via Saint Marie Records on April 1st. Pre-orders are
being taken here.
