BLUE VIOLET – FAUX ANIMAUX – ALBUM REVIEW

In an industry and a world where it is increasingly impossible to breakthrough, you need something special to stand out. Many strive for this by adding quirks or unusual gimmicks to their look or sound, but even those with a clear and obvious talent can get lost in the sea of new music that gets released every day.

Indeed, whilst it’s never been easier to share your music with the world, it has never been more difficult to actually be heard! All this means however that when you do begin to cut through that noise, it is usually because you have that something special.

Blue Violet are an example of a band that has something that you can’t quite put your finger on, you just sense it and know when you are listening, that you are hearing something unforgettable. And that has never been more the case then on their sophomore release, ‘Faux Animaux’!

The tone is set straight out of the blocks with the methodically groovy ‘Sweet Success’, a song so catchy that you’ll be singing it for days. Indeed, that smooth production and synth-driven 80’s aesthetic is a key component of what is a truly magnificent record.

‘Imagine You’ and ‘Survival’ will fully engage your love of synth-pop big hitters like Depeche Mode. But across the album the genre is perfected with a modern update.

It’s easy to get lost in songs such as the hypnotically danceable ‘Boogie Shoes’, and in truth you’ll struggle to turn off what is a thoroughly engaging collection.

Circling back to our starting point, when something stands out as extraordinary then words often can’t do that thing justice. You see it in the most talented sports stars, you feel it while watching the most spectacular movies and you certainly sense it whilst listening to ‘Faux Animaux’.

All we can do is tell you to find that out for yourself and go listen to this album!
