Bleep

Blurred images of sullen angels and intimate closeups visualise the world of Iceboy Violet’s latest project, a treatise dealing in desire and fantasy. Not A Dream But A Controlled Explosion merges the raw energy of Violet’s raps with feathered, airy instrumentals. Poetically personal lyrics stream through the wispy textures of ‘Black Gold’, featuring full, resounding, and bassy vocals from Florence Sinclair. Meanwhile, Violet maintains a constant clip over the weightless soundscape of ‘Wounded Coogi’ where echoes of drill lie in heavy kicks with distorted ambience filling the space in between.
