The High Violets hail from my birth state of Oregon, the lovely city of Portland. Many are drawing lines from the Violets to classic shoegazer bands like My Bloody Valentine, Lush, and Curve. But listening to the band’s second album To Where You Are will only find traces and blips of those influential bands. The Violets chart a course into rich pop territory (without all the cheesiness that the work “pop” invokes), steering far clear of being a tribute band or a derivitave work. Guitarist Clint Sargent’s masterful guitar work jangles, soaks, saturates and lifts vocalist Kaitlyn Ni Donovan’s breezy vocals. Far more than “a shoegazer revivial”, The High Violets are craftsmen of a complex, melodic sound that is sure to please many an ear.
