FrictionNYC.com : “Violent Sensation Descends” begins with a dark, almost haunting psychedelic swirl before breaking into warm, jangly, sunny psych-pop. Warm harmonies and delectable melodies are book-ended by another delve into dark psych whirl. It’s like being tossed around in an ocean of dark waves before they spit you out onto a sunny beach. By the time you stand up to dust the sand off of yourself and let your eyes adjust to the bright sun (and begin to enjoy it), the waves reach out and drag you back into the swirling eddies and crashing waves. http://frictionnyc.com/blog/index.ph...tion-descends/

RCRD LBL.COM : "Violens ...make hallucinatory, ’60s inspired pop records akin to Of Montreal imagining kicking it with the Zombies and Joe Meek back in the day. We’re releasing their first RCRD LBL single today, the bouncy “Violent Sensation Descends”. We’ve been listening to it all morning and we feel as if a void has been filled"



Violens (pronounced "vy-lenz"), featuring members of Lansing-Dreiden, are a New York-via-Miami four-piece formed in the fall of 2007 comprised of members Iddo Arad (synths/vocals), Ben Brantley (bass), Jorge Elbrecht (lead vocals/guitar) and Kris King (drums). Their music imagines a place where The Zombies & The Byrds meet Wire & The Violent Femmes, and Crass meets Angelo Badalamenti & Prefab Sprout.

Violens songs conjure descriptions of nightmares, the passing of time, speculations on spiritual messages, and accounts of psychedelic hallucinations. Even their most frenetic guitar work and aggressive rhythms are draped in a gauze of reverberant, harmonized vocals and synths which create a sense of creepy, artificial comfort. A fitting characterization, lyrically and musically, for a group whose name sounds like a melding of the words "violence" and "violins".

The buzz around this band has been so good that The Handsome Furs asked them on their East Coast Tour.
